I haven't seen that error before - my best guess would be a problem finding the profile dirs (the 
places it wants to find the runtime files and where is stores the user settings).

Wow! That's superb - great job getting a Solaris build going.

The current version in the client wants 1.8.0.x (similar to Firefox 1.5.x). The newer version I 
mentioned earlier uses the more recent 1.8.1.x version of Gecko (like Firefox 2.0.x). Apart from 
having a single, unified source for everything, the big win is that we'll start getting security 
patches and updates again.
