Solution

The first step to fix this issue is to update to latest firmware revision, if your system firmware integrates the fix. (Bug ID 7082194)

When not, then you can use one of the bellow unsupported workarounds :

- Use the Stylish Firefox add-on and add the same content that userContent.css content below : https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/stylish/

- Add this lines in $HOME/.mozilla/firefox/<profile>/chrome/userContent.css file in Solaris or in C:\Documents and Settings\<USER>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<PROFILE>\chrome\userContent.css in Windows XP. This file and the chrome directory do not exist by default.

@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);
#mainpage { visibility: visible !important; }

- Or this workaround for systemwide use in Solaris :

1 - create the file userContent.css in /usr/lib/firefox/defaults/profile/chrome/ directory with the same content as above. For information, chrome directory doesn't exist by default.
2 - remove /usr/bin/firefox link and create a wrapper with execution permissions. This script should contents this :

#!/bin/ksh
for list in `find $HOME/.mozilla/firefox -maxdepth 2 -name chrome`
do
        if [ ! -f $list/userContent.css ]
        then
                cp /usr/lib/firefox/defaults/profile/chrome/userContent.css $list/
        else
                echo ""
        fi
done

/usr/lib/firefox/firefox $1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6 $7 $8 $9
