Hello.

I've created test component for FF based on Martin's patches. Sources are here: https://github.com/pyhalov/oi-userland/tree/firefox/components/firefox .

The issues which were addressed in the component:
- our GCC uses Sun ld, so I have to use wrapper to convert Sun ld options to GNU ld - it seems OpenSXCE has fixed headers, which doesn't have illumos XOPEN_* mess, had to fix component accordingly
- some other small building and packaging issues.

Unfortunately, I couldn't fix component using Sun ld, so it uses GNU ld (as Martin proposed).

Everyone is welcome to test binary packages pkg://userland/web/data/firefox-bookmarks@43.0.0.4,5.11-2015.0.2.0:20151123T193026Z and pkg://userland/web/browser/firefox@43.0.0.4,5.11-2015.0.2.0:20151123T193027Z from http://buildzone.oi-build.r61.net:1000/

I've checked that plugins fork with this FF version. If no major issues arise, I'll update our FF version to this one.
So, please, test it before it is in official repository.

Once again, thanks Martin for his great work. Without him this wouldn't be possible.

Here are still some issues, like non-working spell-checker. Some Java plugins don't work (but I'm not sure they worked with old FF version). Also, as Martin has written in his https://github.com/OpenSXCE-org/FireFox-43-port-for-all-OpenSolaris-distros/tree/master/README_INSTALLATION , our langpacks are broken and need some work. As they have been already broken, I'm going to leave them alone for now.

Martin, thanks a lot. This could be the best thing happened to OI this year.

I'll test it and add oi-userland this week or the next one. I
definately didn't have progress with later FF port...
