Go get the Solaris 8 (yes, 8) contributed builds, they run fine on Solaris 9 as long as you have the requisite gtk1 packages installed.
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/latest/contrib/solaris_pkgadd/ or .../solaris_tarball if you prefer. Get the README file, you may also need a libm patch and whatnot. Your Sun Beijing team produces these contributed builds (as well as those for OpenSolaris). And note that this forum is for OpenSolaris, neither 9 nor 10, there are other forums appropriate for them, you will have better luck there for Solaris 9 & 10.
