The Kali Linux arm64 porter (Steev Klimaszewski <st...@kali.org> in copy) reported to me that firefox needs to be compiled without MALLOC_STATIC_SIZES for it to work on all ARM64 booards available today. This change is required for firefox to work on all boards that are not using 64k page sizes, like the ODROID-C2. The patch is this one: https://github.com/archlinuxarm/PKGBUILDs/blob/master/extra/firefox/aarch64-no-static-sizes.patch But in fact this one is based on https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-mozilla/iceweasel.git/tree/debian/patches/porting/Make-powerpc-not-use-static-page-sizes-in-mozjemallo.patch So you should update that patch to also exclude "aarch64" from using MALLOC_STATIC_SIZES. Thank you! Raphaël.
