Finding Firefox for Solaris

Looking for a recent version of FireFox for Solaris?

Solaris ships with a fairly old version, so that is not the place to go.

There is always sunfreeware.com - the authoritative place to find SVR4 packages of reasonably recent software for all modern versions of Solaris. Steven M. Christensen provides a level of continuity that Sun (and now Oracle) do not afford to provide. You can find packages dating back to Solaris 2.5 - providing support for systems over a decade and a half old.

If you are interested in the latest & greatest - you can go to Mozilla firefox release repository.
