All gecko-based browsers have this problem.

The only one I know which works well is konqueror ( in x11/kdebase3, if
you download binary packages make sure it's KDE 3.4.2 - there was a
nasty 64bit bug in a KDE library which made the cookie manager crash. I
notified the developers but as far as I know the fix is in no official
release yet, only in pkgsrc ). Dillo triggers threading problems ( like
many gtk1 applications ) and gecko has its own set of problems.
KDE is a memory hog but it works fine.

You can always grab them from the official (Open)Solaris iso-images. Not
exactly user friendly but we can't distribute the libraries as far as
I'm aware.
( the images contain some sort of disklabel, you may have to
mknod(1) a few more /dev/cd0? entries. By default only cd?a and cd?c are
created )

have fun
Michael
