Hi Lars,

There are several ways to test the performance for Firefox on your Sun 
Ray environment.

The Firefox Tinderbox 
trees(http://tinderbox.mozilla.org/showbuilds.cgi?tree=Firefox) has 
deployed many automated testings. Please refer to 
http://wiki.mozilla.org/Performance:Tinderbox_Tests to get some ideas on 
these tests. Some of them are also deployed on Solaris 
trees(http://tinderbox.mozilla.org/showbuilds.cgi?tree=Firefox-Ports and 
http://tinderbox.mozilla.org/SeaMonkey-Ports/). As I know, the Mozilla 
community is moving performance tests from Tinderbox to Talos. The 
following link might be helpful: http://wiki.mozilla.org/StandaloneTalos.

The bundled Firefox for Solaris Nevada is linked with the system 
NSS/NSPR. If you're using the contributed Firefox build, it has its own 
copy of NSS/NSPR in case some user's Solaris environment doesn't have one.
