Thunderbird works fine (as far as I can tell after two days), but Firefox just exits instantly with a segfault. I didn't get any replies from the STABLE list, but I got a few ideas from a German newsgroup. On of these ideas was that Firefox may not run at all unter FreeBSD SPARC64. The reason given was that outside of the common plattforms (i386, AMD64 and maybe alpha) much of the ports world is untestet. To be honest, I find that a little hard to believe for Firefox. If we were talking about some application that is rarely used at all, sure. But Firefox should be quite common - one would think anyway. Well, just to rule out this possibility, I tought I'd just ask around if anyone got Firefox to run on FreeBSD 6.1 SPARC64. Hit me with answers! :-) Regards Chris
