What does this solid yellow light mean?

The rule

A steady yellow light warns that red is about to come on. Stop if you safely can; being in the intersection when it turns red is very dangerous.

A solid yellow light warns that red is next. Stop if you can do it safely. If you can't, cross carefully.

From the Official Florida Driver License Handbook, page 51. This question is our own wording of that rule. The handbook and the DMV have the final word.
