Yes , Firefox is more crash prone in a Sun Ray environment than on a
workstation .
I have no problems at all on a X86 Solaris 10u4 workstation ,
but it does crash
or hang more frequently in a multiuser Sun Ray environment.
It is however more stable than it was. my customer was running
solaris 10u1 and we
upgraded to SRS4u2 and solaris10u4 last fall. That improved the
firefox situation alot.
I have also built seamonkey 1.1.7 from sources with studio 11 .
which seems o.k.
and we have tested Opera for solaris x86 which also looks usable.

Has anyone else run into issues where Firefox crashes viewing

Finance (when attempting to view a quote) is the site that most
consistently causes segmentation faults in Firefox. The same issue
does not occur on a SPARC system (also Solaris 10 U4). If I replace
the Sun-shipped Firefox with one of the Solaris builds from the
Firefox contributed builds downloads, the crash does not occur.
We see this behavior, and we run only the Firefox contributed builds.
It's difficult to duplicate, although it often repeats when it occurs.
I thought clearing the cache might help, but the evidence isn't
convincing.
Possibly, we have less trouble if we run from Solaris/SPARC or
Linux/x86, but our data here is limited. We run Rays from our X4200,
but I don't think this is Ray-specific.
