Fortunately we occasionally get fresh ESRs with S11
Can I get it separately?

Others have pointed to FF in userland (https://github.com/oracle/solaris-userland/tree/master/components/desktop/firefox)
but I have no time to investigate.

No, I'm still on 11.2. I once gave 11.3 a try but I had issues with the
video driver and ended up in a poor resolution.
Hi there !
On my Solaris 11 workstation, I'm currently using FF 52.0.2, which is
also still the latest version I can find on
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/
The problem is that the number of web sites which are no longer working
with this old release is growing day by day. Didn't I look deep enough
or it that really the latest "contrib" build for Solaris? The "ls-lR"
file which could easily answer that question has also vanished away long
time ago ...
What will be the next version with "contrib" support?
And why is FF that much slower on Solaris than it is on any other OS?
The machine isn't really slow, FF is the only application with quite a
poor performance - at least after running some time. I've been
experiencing this for many years on SPARC and on x64 as well, even of
really fat machines.

It might because of the Javascript engine but I'm not sure.
For somet time now, I'm no longer using a desktop (Solaris, MacOS
or Windows) for most webbrowsing; I'm either using my phone or a
tablet.

I don't think we still do that.

From the firefox-52.0ESR-Sol10sparc.README:
This directory contains Solaris builds of Firefox 52.0 ESR,
which are contributed by Oracle Solaris Desktop Beijing Team.
If you have any problem with these builds, please send email to
ginnchen at gmail dot com
This is the last contrib build before I leave Oracle.
My job is eliminated.
Thanks everyone for supporting me.

N.Hi,
Sorry to hear about the job, but just downloaded that
and is quite snappy on an M3000 with xvr300 graphics.
Probably even faster via remote vnc.
Older versions output loads of error messages, but none at
all from this. Still using 52esr on some older x86
machines, because of add on compatability issues.
Thanks a lot for all the efforts, not a trivial task for
a package like firefox, with so many dependencies...
Regards,
Chris
