[desktop-discuss] HELP: test Firefox 3.1b3 on OpenSolaris
Posted:
Mar 6, 2009 3:15 AM

Hi guys,
As you might know, we're coming close to the next OpenSolaris 2009.06
release. The original plan is to deliver Firefox 3.1 into this release,
but the schedule from Mozilla community was delayed. So instead, we
might deliver Firefox 3.1b3 which is about to release in the Mozilla
community.
The QAs are testing Firefox 3.1b3 on OpenSolaris now. Here I'd also like
to ask helps from the desktop community. If you're running OpenSolaris,
please join us to test this version for Firefox. There is *NO* extra
effort. Just be an end user and use it on your OpenSolaris boxes.
Please follow the instructions below to install Firefox 3.1b3:
1. Get the corresponding build from
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/contrib/3.1b3-candidates/build1/
<http://.
2. Unpack the build.
% bunzip firefox-3.1b3.en-US.opensolaris-i386-pkg.bz2. It'll give you
three packages: SUNWfirefox SUNWfirefox-devel SUNWfirefox-bookmark
3a. For OpenSolaris users who are with the 2009.06 development build
b118, you'll have to uninstall the following packages first and install
the above three packages. It works ok for my own box. Please note this
will probably break something.
% pfexec pkg uninstall SUNWipkg-gui SUNWgnome-python-extras
SUNWfirefox-bookmark SUNWfirefox
% pfexec pkgadd -d . SUNWfirefox SUNWfirefox-devel SUNWfirefox-bookmark
3b. For OpenSolaris users who are with the original 2008.11 release:
% pfexec pkg uninstall SUNWfirefox
% pfexec pkgadd -d . SUNWfirefox SUNWfirefox-devel SUNWfirefox-bookmark
3c. For Solaris Nevada users, you'll have to pkgrm the packages and then
pkgadd the new ones. The default start page is broken as it points to a
local file exists only on OpenSolaris.
For flash plugins, the latest release 10.0.22.87 is recommended:
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ <http://.
Please restart Firefox to make sure the 3.1b3 release is taken:
"Help"->"About Mozilla Firefox".
Any problem or feedback for this build will be appreciated.
Thanks,
-Alfred

I've transferred the packages to data stream. So please run the command
below to install the packages after unpacking.
% pfexec pkgadd -d firefox-3.1b3.en-US.opensolaris-i386-pkg

snv_103 sun4u sparc works fine - subjectively feels faster than 3.0.7
and printing works! No complaints here...
FWIW it complains that FireFTP 1.0.3 and Xesam search enginer[sic](beagle,
tracker) 1.0.1 are not compatible with Firefox 3.1b3. Not sure I really
care that much, but the apparently automatic installation of incompatible
plugins is odd...
Off topic, but Thunderbird 3.0b1 is so much better than its predecessors,
rock solid and much, much faster! And Gnome hasn't crashed in a month :-)
Happy users here!

The beagle add-on should be shipped as a system one. Is FireFTP add-on
part of your existing profile? I don't expect Firefox 3.1b3 to install
add-ons automatically for a new profile.

Hi Alfred,
Thanks for the info. I will try to give it a spin today. (BTW, b118 should be b108, but I think it is quite obvious.)
Since you are with the desktop development team, I was wondering whether we have any liaison who works with OpenSolaris.org? I installed the OOo 3.1-beta2, but could start it. The error message:
ld.so.1: soffice.bin: fatal: libicuuc.so.3: open failed: No such file or directory
ld.so.1: soffice.bin: fatal: relocation error: file /opt/ooo-dev/basis3.1/program/libvclsi.so: symbol __1cHicu_4_0OLEFontInstanceRgetDynamicClassID6kM_pv_: referenced symbol not found

I think you meant liaison for OpenOffice.org. Actually the
Open(Star)Office development is out of the scope of the desktop(JDS) team.

There is a happy ending. I copied this post to a wrong forum but this problem ended up being answered.

FF 3.1b3 seems to be working OK. However, when viewing some Chinese web pages, it causes the entire system to be dragged down almost to a crawl--with or without flash player. Please try this page:
http://www.nownews.com/
Closing down the offending pages, and the system immediately recovers.

If you get a chance, please also test one of Sun's own blog pages:
http://blogs.sun.com/yongsun/
try to vertically scroll the page. This is not as bad as the previous page, but still pretty sluggish on my system (a fairly decent core 2 duo machine with 4 GB DDR2 RAM).

Hello,
I'm running OpenSolaris 2008.11.
Additional dependencies are mentioned when trying to remove SUNWfirefox:
herrib@opensolaris:~/Téléchargement$ pfexec pkg uninstall SUNWfirefox
Creating Plan /pkg: Cannot remove 'pkg:/SUNWfirefox@0.5.11,5.11-0.101:20081119T220640Z' due to
the following packages that depend on it:
pkg:/SUNWsongbird@0.5.11,5.11-0.101:20081119T230029Z
pkg:/SUNWgnome-help-viewer@0.5.11,5.11-0.101:20081119T221715Z

Hi Hervé,
The work around (for testing purpose) I can think of now is to uninstall
all the dependencies first and reinstall Firefox from the packages. An
alternative for Songbird binary is the contributed build from:
http://wiki.songbirdnest.com/Developer/Articles/Builds/Contributed_Builds.
Maybe it's safer to do all these testing in a separate BE btw.
Thanks,
-Alfred

After further investigation, the slowness problem seems to occur with web pages having lots of graphics, see, e.g.:
http://www.foxnews.com/

These problems seem to have been moved with the installation of X.org 1.5.3 a la build 109 (or 107).

I am having problem playing archived TV shows from hulu.com . The video screen would freeze after a few minutes of playing (while the audio still continues to play). Then it will resume, but sometimes it will not.
I believe this problem is related to the flash player (I am running the newest version 10). But could the QA team take a look at this problem? Thanks.

Can't connect from here. "We're sorry, currently our video library can
only be streamed within the United States." It also doesn't work if I
turn on the proxy: "Sorry, we are unable to stream this video."

After punchining to US point, the TV shows are connected. I do have some
continuously audio/video freeze/resume, which should be related to my
network bandwidth. Hasn't met the problem that video freezes and audio
continues after playing for more than 20 minutes. Is there a specific
video which causes the problem?
CC the flash developers Ginn/Leon as well.
Thanks,
-Alfred

The problem seems to have gone away after I rebooted my system (os0906_108 on HP 6728 laptop). I will let this machine run a while and do the testing again. (Btw, Build 108 is a little bit spooky, I am looking forward to updating to 109.)
Additional data: Before I submitted my report, I also did the same test, side-by-side, on my WinXP guest installed in VirtualBox 2.1.4 on the same machine, and I did not have any problem whatsoever with the WinXP guest. Thus, I don't think this was related to network transmission issue but seems to confirm that the problem was with running FF 3.1b3 on os0906_108.

I've just installed firefox 3.1b3 on opensolaris, and I noticed 2 things:
1) after bunzipping the package data stream, you don't have the 3 package files ready to install, you have to transform the stream to actual packages with this command:
pkgtrans firefox-3.1b3.en-US.opensolaris-i386-pkg ./ SUNWfirefox SUNWfirefox-devel SUNWfirefox-bookmark
2) firefox upon startup told me that the "Xesam" search extension was disabled because there was no compatible version of it for firefox 3.1b3
3) first test I've redone was to go on images.google.com, search a random keyword, right click on an image, open in new tab: bingo! now it works! So I suppose this wasn't a firefox 3.1b2 problem, it was that **** Xesam search extension that I could not remove or uninstall, thank god it's now disabled >:P

You don't. You just pkgadd -d firefox-3.1b3.en-US.opensolaris-i386-pkg .

Are there any build instructions for firefox-3.1b3 on Sparc/Nevada? I'm using the compile flags and configuration options in the binary about:buildconfig, but I still get compile errors.

I am trying to install FF 3.1b3 in os0906_109. When doing a pkg uninstall SUNWfirefox, I was prompted to uninstall SUNWpython-extra, then SUNWipkg-gui, both of which I complied.
Then in doing pkgadd -d firefox-3.1b3.en-US.opensolaris-i386-pkg , I received the following warnings:
## Verifying package dependencies.
WARNING:
The <SUNWjdsrm> package "Java Desktop System upgrade
package remove" is a prerequisite package and should be
installed.
WARNING:
The <SUNWj5rt> package "JDK 5.0 Runtime Env.
(1.5.0_17)" is a prerequisite package and should be
installed.
WARNING:
The <SUNWdtbas> package "CDE application basic runtime
environment" is a prerequisite package and should be
installed.
Since I expect to update to build 110 soon, I simply ignored these warnings and went ahead with the installation.

The installation seems to have gone OK; I am posting this message from FF3.1b3.
Image-Updating to build 109 overwrote the previous FF3.1b3, necessitating this re-installation.

Hi Wayne,
The WARNING messages can be ignored. They are introduced by the fact
that the Firefox 3.1b3 SVr4 package was made on Solaris Nevada machine
with the spec files. The package dependency will be updated when
importing to the IPS server as I understand.
Thanks,
-Alfred

Hi alfred，
I'll transfer this message to Chinese and put it on IXPUB.net !
And I just get the news that 10.0-Alpha-1 is open download for testing now!
