User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS sun4u; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040615 Firefox/0.9
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS sun4u; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040615 Firefox/0.9
I'm running Firefox 0.9 on Solaris 9, Update 5, which is a very recent update
release of the OS. When I launch Firefox, it displays a dialog box with the
following message:
The following patches need to be updated to higher revisions:
patch 112785-34 (or higher), currently installed patch 112785-33
("X11 6.6.1:Xsun patch)
This seems like a bug since it's such a recent release and the filename in the
contrib directory is firefox-0.9-sparc-sun-solaris2.8.tar.gz. I assume that any
patches required for Solaris 8 would have been roled into Solaris 9 by now.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. install Solaris 9, U5
2. install Firefox 0.9
3. launch Firefox
Actual Results:
Displays the following message:
The following patches need to be updated to higher revisions:
patch 112785-34 (or higher), currently installed patch 112785-33
("X11 6.6.1:Xsun patch)
Expected Results:
launch without an error message

Why would this be a bug ? We really need that patch-level. See bug 230598 and
bug 233863. We have different lists of required patches for Solaris 2.8 and
Solaris 2.9, by the way.

daniel:
There is a reason why the patch checker script was introduced. Lots of bogus bug
reports here in bugzilla because people were unwilling to apply patches or
because they missed critical patches (and the patch revision you are complaining
about is required due sunsolve bug#4991847) ...
BTW: The patch checker dialog will only come up one (or sometimes two when
firefox rebuilds it's XPCOM registry) times (e.g. hit "ignore" two times and the
beast will shut up). After that it will only appear if you change something in
the firefox installation directoty.
Alternatively there is a "secret" env var which can be used to turn the patch
checker OFF.
