Running Firefox/Mozilla under VNC

A favorite past time of bloggers at Sun is looking at the referer list to see how people get to their blogs. The vast majority of people come to my random thoughts through a direct link. There are some interesting Google searches though.

So, this hint is for the individual who googled [sic] for vnc "solaris 10" -x86 and found me on the second page. If you are having problems with Firefox crashing your VNC session under some web site, configure your VNC server to start using an 8 bits depth rather than a 24 bits one. Sure, it will not look as nice as it could, but it will run and not crash.

Things you learn doing distributed demos :)
