Hi All,
I have Debian Sid PowerPC (PPC32) on my A-EON AmigaOne X1000 Nemo (P.A.
Semi PA6T). I have the same problems with Firefox ESR.
Adrian, could you try to get in touch with the Firefox maintainer? I
think you can better discuss with him about the problems.
Thanks,
Christian

Both Firefox-ESR and Qupzilla exits or crashes while browsing.
You most likely ran into this upstream bug [1] which affects big-endian
systems. As far as I can see, there is no new solution yet so it might
be a good idea for you to subscribe to this bug report.
Unfortunately, Firefox upstream doesn't care much about big-endian systems
so they are knowingly accepting patches that causes these regressions. And
even if we had a patch to address this issue, we still have the problem
that Debian's Firefox maintainer is not very responsive when it comes
to patches to address issues on Debian Ports architectures. My patches
to fix firefox-esr on m68k, sh4 and sparc64, for example, have still not
been merged :(.
Debian's Thunderbird maintainer is more welcoming in this regard and he's
always happy to merge patches that fix issues on Debian Ports architectures
and since Thunderbird is based on Firefox, you might be seeing this
crash there as well.
