I can confirm that mozilla (as of about 3 weeks ago) works on Sparc64.

It has some weird issues (like: if you start it from a normal xterm 
with $TERMCAP being set to the full lenght string, it will core dump), but
if you unset the offending environment variables before startup, it seems
to run nice and then-stable.

OTOH I'd love to have a working firefox, as it's a much nicer browser.

Allow me to congratulate you sir. You have the most totally
closed mind that I've ever encountered.
