Can you elaborate a little more on this?
I just recently installed 10.2 64-bit on a Sun Ultra 40 (dual amd 246
chips). I can install the i586 version of firefox, but it can't get
it to talk to the network at all. It's as if I don't even have a
plumbed ethernet interface. So firefox will run, but all attempts at
connecting to the internet fail. Reinstall the 64-bit version of
firefox, and I can browse no problem.
