Who said anything about 129a? I am using 134 the last OpenSolaris
release. Also, the name of the binary distribution contains the word
This is not an official release, but was build as an interim to
enable Osol users to upgrade to Solaris 11, and is also very old
and long dead.
OpenSolaris not Solaris:
firefox-31.2.0esr.en-US.opensolaris-i386.tar.bz2
I think they have it there for some reason...
This naming is just misleading, they compile for
Solaris, not Opensolaris anymore (why should they?).
I think they have it there for some reason... As about the compiler,
it is the most stupid compiler I have ever used!
No question about that...
For flash, they even don't care about compatibility,
flash support was officially removed already in 11.1:
