Troubleshooting:
----------------
* For solaris 8 builds, you need to install GTK 1.2 library.
The GTK 1.2 libraries can be got from sun.com or sunfreeware.com
* Also for solaris 8 builds, you may need to install the patches required.
If you can not start up firefox with the following error
ld.so.1: ./firefox-bin: fatal: relocation error: file ./firefox-bin: symbol fmod: referenced symbol not found.
You may need to add Math Library (libm) patch.
Solaris 5.8 sparc: 111721
Solaris 5.9 sparc: 111722
Solaris 5.8 i386: 112757
Solaris 5.9 i386: 111728
You may have more than one libm library in your system.
Please make sure that you are using the one in /usr/lib.
Compiler may also have one libm library, please do not use that one.
* If you just can not start up or encount some unexpect crash, try to do this.
Back up your "$HOME/.mozilla/firefox"
Remove this directory.
Start up the application without import anything.
