User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021212 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Sparc Solaris 8; en-US; rv:1.2.1) After starting Mozilla, mailnews comes up (start mailnews at launch on), then Mozilla freezes without starting a browser window. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. start Mozilla 2. just watch... 3. Actual Results: Mailnews/Mozilla freezes Expected Results: bring navigator window after mailnews and work ! 1.1 worked like a charm, rthis build is just unusable. Anyone out there to donate the usual quality builds ?
Argh ! The new 'advanced' bug report form is just dull and dumb as straw !!! Platform is Solaris 8 on Sparc, version 1.2.1 (the one donated by Sun).

Have your read the README in the installation directory. It clearly states that with this Sun supported version of Mozilla you need GTK libraries that are compiled with Sun Forte compiler. Because you are able to start the Mozilla you most probable just have GTK libraries that are compiled with Gnu gcc/g++ compilers. This kind of combination gives unpredictable results and leads for example the kind of situation you now have faced. I had very similar problems, before I read the README and used GTK libraries from the Netscape 7.0 distributioon of Sun. PLEASE follow the instructions in the README file and get the Sun Forte compiled GTK libraries one of the ways told in the file. After that just add to mozilla startup script in Mozilla's installation directory following line: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/my/location/of/Forte/compiled/gtk/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH For example if you have Netscape 7.0 installed to directory /opt/NS/7.0 then the above line would be something like: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/NS/7.0/dist/lib::${LD_LIBRARY_PATH};export LD_LIBRARY_PATH This starts to be such a FAQ now-a-days that this had to be mentioned on the release 1.2.1 download web page.

No. The /opt/sfw/lib path where the GTK libraries are located is provided by Sun with their operating system. We don't have anything on our systems that is gcc- compiled. I even suspect that we don't have gcc at all.
