When entering the file: URL of a directory that contains a >2GB file, Firefox does nothing. No non-2G content. No errors. Trussing Firefox shows that it gives up when it encounters a file which causes a non-largefile stat(2) call to fail with EOVERFLOW. The error takes place here: http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/xpcom/io/nsLocalFileUnix.cpp#279. Solaris has supported >2G file for a long time. It's really necessary for the browser to cope with this.
Attached patch Patch v1Splinter Review
The MACRO define allows 32-bit applications to manipulate large files(>2G) on Solaris. Any similar support on the other platforms?
