Alfred,

Thank you for providing the mozilla contrib builds of Firefox.

I have 20 sunray servers with s10u4 installed. We would like to deploy FF 3.1 
on those servers in order to use jit. I realize that there are currently only 
OpenSolaris releases of FF 3.1. SXCE is looking more attractive all the time.

I would like to confirm that the papi bugs have been fixed. So far, I haven't 
been able to find errata for papi for S10u6 or any patches that could be 
applied to fix the problem(s) on sunsolve.

I have cc'ed the printing community in order to help shed some light.

Karl
