This makes me wonder: Shouldn't those problems also happen with Firefox
on Solaris/SPARC? At least

  http://svn.blastwave.org:5957/csw/trunk/apps/firefox/files/

does not show a lot of patches for the Blastwave version of Firefox.
In fact they patch only autoconf.mk.in and provide their own .mozconfig.

If I understood correctly, Solaris will switch from Mozilla to Firefox as
the web browser in their base system in the near future, so I would
expect SUN to make sure Firefox to be sparc64 compatible.
