My machine is patched to the latest levels.
I have now launched the FF as:
env LC_ALL=C firefox
and it has stayed up so far.
Also, it seems that when I use the latest Java plugin FF crashes more
frequently. Now I had to revert back to: "Java(TM) Plug-in 1.6.0_06-b02"
Thanks for all the good work to support Solaris guys. It takes a lot of the
users' time and I need to know if I will stick to Solaris10 or not....

PS: As a matter of fact I've also seen some gnome apps being less stable with
en_US-UTF8 locale. (gnome-background-properties crashes w/o a reason and some
times on the small language selection area at the bottom left of windows
some times leaves a blank box on the desktop bachground which if clicked may
crash some application...)
But this is a FF discussion issue.

| Hi Michael,
|
| Like ken suggested, could you please try the latest Firefox 3.0.3. Just tried
| this on my SPARC box with Solaris 10 U5 under the same locale(en_US.UTF-8),
| Firefox could be started and run successfully. But it's a little bit slow here
| with flash enabled, especially for a rich content website.
|
| BTW, could you reproduce this crash every time? How is the stack for your
| core?
|
| There might be some problem for the Java Plugin and no test for this area.
