Operating Systems Solaris Installing firefox on solaris 10 Post 302613075 by jlliagre on Monday 26th of March 2012 03:53:28 PM

Just run the command I suggested:
Code:
cd /opt
bunzip2 < /Desktop/firefox-10.0.2.en-US.solaris-10-fcs-i386.tar.bz2 | tar xf -
/opt/firefox/firefox

The last one launches firefox. There is no install script to run.

By the way, running a desktop environment logged in as root is unwise.
