====== Browsers ======

Firefox is nice, but it's getting more and more heavy. So I tried and find other browsers...

^ Name ^ Platform ^ Text or GUI ? ^ Supports SSL ^ Supports Flash  ^ Comments ^
| Firefox | [[http://www.solaris4you.dk/green_pulse.gif|Solaris 10]], Linux, Windows... | GUI | Yes | Yes | Getting heavy but good |
| [[http://lobobrowser.org/browser/home.jsp|Lobo]] | Java-based | GUI | ? | ? | Bad Layout. To run it: java -jar lobo.jar. |

===== Firefox: Solaris 10 Installation Tips =====

The bzip2 actually contains several packages that all install in /opt/sfw (cairo, pango, firefox...). In my case, actually, I only need the firefox package. However, so far, I haven't managed to get firefox3 working if I only install that package and move it to /opt/csw.
Consequently, I have installed all required packages in /opt/sfw. This is a pity because some libraries are duplicated (cairo, pango...) :-(

Firefox is installed in /opt/sfw:
<code>
/opt/sfw/lib/firefox3/updater
/opt/sfw/lib/firefox3/updater.ini
/usr/share/applications/firefox3.desktop
/opt/sfw/bin/firefox <symbolic link>
</code>

Launch /opt/sfw/bin/firefox & and Firefox3 starts !


===== Flash Player for Firefox =====

^ Solaris ^ OpenSolaris 2008.11 ^ Debian ^ Ubuntu ^
| [[http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash|Adobe]] | Yes. TODO |||

To install a system-wide Flash Player for Firefox on Solaris:
  * Unzip it (e.g. bzip2 -d flash_player_9_solaris_x86.tar.bz2)
  * Untar it and put both files flashplayer.xpt and libflashplayer.so in /usr/lib/firefox/plugins.
  * Restart firefox
  * Check a shockwave flash plugins is loaded in about:plugins
  * Check the plugin is okay with [[http://www.adobe.com/go/flashplayerversion|Adobe's online plugin test]].
