Dear (in chronological order)
/Apostolos Syropoulos/, /Predrag Zečević, //Alexander Pyhalov, //Nikola
M, //ken mays, //Lou Picciano, //Andreas Wacknitz and /Igor Kozhukhov:
THANK YOU FRIENDS for your nice comradly responses, these are very
important in those dark times.
Especially given the other (non-)events:
The only person that needed to be added to
http://svr4.opensxce.org/RELEASE_NOTES__OpenSXCE2014.05_x86_x64_INTEL32-64_AMD32-64____sun4u_sun4v_SPARC.txt
is Nikola M from Serbia.
He donated 20 EUR (Paypal stole from that another 1,33 EUR) and I thank
Nikola from my heart for his donation. It will enable me to buy some
bread and salami for 1 week in 2 days (after the transfer to my bank
account is completed).
I thank him even more so, because he comes from a West-destroyed country
where unemployment is at the roof and which is still under western
sanctions until this minute - 16 years later, although even back then it
has not committed any cime other than getting carpet-bombed and teared
apart by our Nobel Peace Prize winners and exceptional Nations and
Unions of "western values" (because this is a technical list I won't
provide more url's, as I promised, go to yt and only enter Belgrade 1999
to watch how dead gils and children and Grand-Ma's look like, Paris is
harmless in contrast, and France was among the nations co-committing the
bombings - under a FALSE INVENTED pretext even [as every time]).
Now look, somebody who has no financial stability and no money himself:
_HE_ did donate 20 EUR.
In relation (the percentage of the money he has versus he donated) to
most other readers of this mailing list it is, as had one of those
German and USA- business owners who directly benefit from OpenSolaris
donated 5000 EUR.
But those did not even donate 1 EUR, not even 0,01 EUR.
Nor offer a sponsorship. Nor offer a paid coding project.

While the NetBSD-stolen FF31 got back then re-shared douzens of times
under the name of joyent, as if they had actually performed that port.
That's this world.
Response to Jay F. Shachter, ok.
At least you don't call me a terrorist-supporter again.
Therefore I take the unpaid time to respond to your questions:
Has anyone succeeded in getting it to run on Solaris 10? I have a
relatively recent (e.g., "zpool upgrade -v" goes up to 32) version of
Solaris 10, on which the following occurs:
/home/jay Nu? firefox43.0b3
XPCOMGlueLoad error for file
/usr/lib/firefox43.0b3/lib/firefox-43.0/libmozsqlite3.so:
ld.so.1: firefox.exe: fatal: relocation error: file
/usr/lib/firefox43.0b3/lib/firefox-43.0/libmozsqlite3.so: symbol
posix_fallocate64: referenced symbol not found
Couldn't load XPCOM.
/home/jay Nu?
You could try LD_PRELOAD'ing libs from an older Solaris 11 build (such
as snv_130) in front of Sol10 libs and then call the runtime linker
explicitly.
In theory that could do it, but given libxul's complexity I doubt that
it doesn't segfault in this case.
Answer yourself the question:
Is Solaris 10 / SunOS 5.10 an OpenSolaris based distro (meaning,
directly incremented from the Nevanda OS/Net base's kernel and libc)?
Solaris has binary ABI backward compatibility, but how would it possibly
be forward-compatible (as long as it stays under active development,
that is)?
To get Solaris 10 supported by the bins I should have created my build
env under Solaris 10 (ideally the 2005 FCS version, to support all
subsequent Solaris 10 FCS ++ releases (which would then also include all
OpenSolaris or Solaris11 or upcoming 12).
But honestly - how far back shall I go with the backport? Solaris 2.5.1?
Back during the days that was the question at Blastwave: Should it stick
with Sol8 or move ahead to Sol10, and this was more than 10 years ago,
which is a century in sfw terms.
Admittedly I didn't expect anyone to still run S10 on x86/x64 (because
unlike on SPARC sun4u, on x86 there really is no reason to do that).
The fact alone that you asked this very question in that odd way makes
me ask you: What in heaven's name to you want with the SRC code?????
And: Now that you _have_ the SRC code, why don't you take a holiday and
build it yourself??
Argh, I forgot: I'm the one supposed to do that, and let me guess: FOR
FREE. Am I correct??
Oh, valued master of the universe: How else may I help you?
No, that's nor sarcasm: It is bitter and serious! Affecting my daily
reality day in day out.
You asked:
> Is there something that the user

Yes, if it is Illumos you must be running a hacked kernel, test it again
on this OS:
http://svr4.opensxce.org/201405/i386/DVD/OpenSXCE_2014.05_Live_x86.iso.gz
Or it must be Sun/Oracle Solaris,
I did not count how many times and at how many places this was already
stated by me since 2013.
Obviosly it was not often enough.
Now, in fact I took that time for the other thing you wrote:
> On Solaris 11.2, in contrast, the program runs, although Flash does

Your scenario description is not very verbose.
Did you at least read _any_ of my README files in
https://github.com/OpenSXCE-org/FireFox-43-port-for-all-OpenSolaris-distros/tree/master/README_INSTALLATION
such as
https://github.com/OpenSXCE-org/FireFox-43-port-for-all-OpenSolaris-distros/blob/master/README_INSTALLATION/INSTALL_BINS.txt
?????
Then you would know the answer to your question already.
No, no action is required, other than installing the Flash plugin either
for the local user or globally.
I find it too hot to re-distribute the flash plugin, therefore I expect
from users that they install it themselves.
I'm currently installing Solaris 11.3 and 11.2 (until now only had
tested its LiveDVD, but as /usr/lib/firefox43.0b3 must be in place
somehow, be it as symlink or lofs-mount, I could not test that on the
LiveDVD without first copying all of /usr/lib to some writable location,
adding the change and then -O mounting over /usr/lib, but for that I
don't have enough memory and also the vbox usb kit is not currently
installed, hence a default hdd install is less trouble. I could have
tested it on a Live env via LD_LIBRARY_PATH_32 or a list of LD_PRELOAD's
but the most authentic test is a default install).
So let me see .....
(1 yet another hour later [especially for you and unpaid]) :
In Solaris11.3 the Sun-Oracle- Studio compiled included (default)
FireFox gets instantly frozen on the site you provided:
(I tried it onhttp://www.att.com/speedtest and the site
reported that Flash failed to load)
No, in my case this site doesn't report anything if the flash plugin is
installed.
It instantly freezes the entire Oracle provided Studio-compiled FireFox
and dies.
If you got any report there, then it means you do not even know the
difference between "supports the adobe flash plugin" versus "ships the
adobe flash plugin and has bundled it", even though you appear to be a
native speaker of {some form of} English.
Renaming the flash plugin confirmed my guess.
No furter tests needed.
Response: While this site does indeed freeze the entire Browser (the
Oracle-provided Studio compiled was what I tested first) this appears to
be related to an incompatibility of that site with old legacy flash
plugins. While at the same time flash 11.2.202.223 was the last and
final version of classic flash not only for Solaris (sparc and x86), but
even for LinUX.
But from all the nonsense you wrote that stole me 2 hours I wonder: Why
don't you run MS-Windows 10? There you have a newer flash plugin and can
even run AT&T's fun test.
> "Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum videtur"
Now that you have the SRC, why don't you contribute langpacks for Latin
or Antique Greek?

Dear Martin,
I am writing this message using your Firefox binary. It works great
and the flush plugin works
just fine. Thank you very much for your contribution.
Best regards,
