Firefox 3.0.7/Thunderbird 3.0b2 contributed builds for
OpenSolaris/Solaris 10 are now available on www.mozilla.com.
What's New
==========
Firefox 3.0.7
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/3.0.7/releasenotes/#whatsnew
Thunderbird 3.0b2
http://www.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/thunderbird/3.0b2/releasenotes/#whatsnew
Download
========
Firefox 3.0.7
http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.0.7/contrib/
Please note that the Solaris 10 builds above are still bundled with
GNOME 2.20 libraries. Some efforts have been made to build the necessary
GNOME 2.24 libraries on Solaris 10 recently to meet the requirement of
Firefox 3.1/Thunderbird 3.0 (glib/atk/pixman/cairo/pango/gtk included).
To reduce the maintenance efforts for all the Solaris 10 contributed
builds, the GNOME 2.20 libraries will be obsolete from the next Firefox
3.0.x release. Please let us know if you have any concerns for this change.
*HELP NEEDED*
Firefox 3.0.7 (GNOME 2.24)

The GNOME 2.24 based Firefox 3.0.7/Thunderbird 3.0b2 contributed builds
for Solaris 10 is available as above. For Solaris 10 users, please help
us test how they work on your systems and feedback any problems here.
For Thunderbird 3.0b2 users, please make sure your systems have the
patch below. It'll upgrade the system fontconfig library to 2.5.0.
x86: 138353-02

For Firefox/Thunderbird printing:
- For the users who are with Solaris 10U6 and above, the papi printing
backend is known to work. Please get the corresponding papi backend from
here: http://releases.mozilla.com/sun/solaris10/.
- For the users who already have cups library on Solaris 10, please get
the corresponding cups backend from here:
http://releases.mozilla.com/sun/solaris10/. This is only available for
GNOME 2.24 based builds.
Thanks a lot for all your feedback!
