Solaris

Thank you for the clarification... I just knew there had to be a reason for it.

So much to learn.

Pls disregard. Funny thing - soon as I post a question I find the answer.

OK - looks like the flashplayer plugin is getting the best of me. I have downloaded it from Adobe, issued the pfexec command to move libflashplayer.so to my /usr/lib/firefox/plugins directory, bounced firefox but it cannot find the plugin. Not sure how close the unix version of 'ls -l' is to the linux version, but I see that user/group are slightly different from the new entry to what is existing... can that by my problem ?

Have you thought of using the software repository? Solaris 11 has new package management tool, which is much like what you get with linux distros.

Thanks for your reply Bitlord.

Being one to seek the easiest method first the package manager was my first stop. Since the Firefox release was old, I assumed that the flash player was old as well. Taking your suggestion I did install flashplayer using the package manager, bounced Firefox, and websites are still asking me to install Adobe Flash Player.

I rebooted, so Firefox was not up and running.

I downloaded firefox-11.0.en-US.opensolaris-i386.tar.bz2 from both links that you supplied. After bunzipping and untarring both files, i ran firefox/firefox. When the browser came up, I clicked in Help / About Firefox and I get 6.0.2.

I guess that what the OP means by "not current".

@rdhalstead: please refer to post #7 for an explanation of what you observed.
