[desktop-discuss] FireFox for Sun Ray's ?

I looked through  the firefox build options today .  
    (   configure --help  in the source directory ) 

   there seems   to be  several dozens  of options here  .

   I just wanted to raise the question if  a nonstandard  build  would be  better  if running 
   firefox  on a Sun Ray  terminal . 

   These  are options we use now ( according to  about:buildconfig ) 

--enable-application=browser --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib --mandir=/usr/share/man --enable-xft --enable-default-toolkit=gtk2 --enable-svg --enable-canvas --disable-static --enable-shared --enable-official-branding --enable-xinerama --disable-updater --disable-tests --disable-freetype2 --disable-auto-deps --disable-debug --enable-extensions=default,apoc 


  Solaris  has  its own implementations  of  Zlib , PNG, JPG and NSPR   that is not 
 used  in the firefox build  ,  is it known  that the ones included in firefox source tree 
 is better ? 

 
 As  the APOC  source  is not included in the mozilla/firefox tar ball,   
how  do I  set up the  APOC source code  from freedesktop.org  to compile 
with :    --enable-extensions=default,apoc
