I notice that with the Solaris 10 build, I also get an empty list when 
I visit the Saved Passwords section.  However, I also notice that it 
still manages to auto-login using the saved user name and password so 
this may be a UI issue rather than an actual inability to replay login 
information.


The CNN web site looks even more crappy than before and the Yahoo web 
site assumes that Firefox under Solaris must be some primitive cell 
phone browser (as it temporarily did with Linux some time ago). 
However, other web sites seem fine.


Given that the Flash plugin is gone, web sites may look better with 
the Flash Block add-on removed.

In the similar way it seems that spellcheck that stopped working in both 
Firefox and Thunderbird in OI hipster-2015 (worked before 4-5 months or so),

seems to not underline words untill it get to first mispelled word.
Then it underlines every word after that and stops working.

Yeah I mailed Yahoo about this issue of not recognizing "Solaris" i User 
Agent string as computer browser, like 3 years ago or something, but got 
no response from Yahoo.

Just as a note, Martin, maintainer of never-releasing-source illumos 
distribution OpenSXCE, says that he is using Flash player fine, except 
some edge cases for Flash versions compatibility or something , because 
he patched something in illumos and else that colided with last Flash 
for Solaris (but never released what).
