If it's only for your user, don't bother with the installer. Extract a Mozilla tarball in your home directory and run it from there. Firefox works on Solaris that way for me.

If you need to run the installer, you'll need an X server on your Windows machine. Cygwin running XFree86 would do the job for free, but most people who want a GUI connection to Solaris seem to be using Hummingbird Exceed. If you use SSH and Cygwin XFree86, invoke ssh with the -X option to tunnel X.

More information would be nice too. I can't figure out what OS the server is (Solaris forum, "Redhat Linux" as the OS, "Sun spark" as the System Manufacturer, and "ssh(linux server)" in your post), and I have no idea why you want to install Mozilla on a machine that that you can only access with SSH.

Finally, if you are using RedHat, there's probably a more proper way to install using RPMs provided by RedHat.
