Given my other priorities (Oxide), I'm not likely to be able to spend any time on Firefox issues that don't affect x86 / x86-64 other than reviewing a merge proposal from someone who cares about PPC.
Given that Mozilla consider PPC a tier-3 platform (https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Supported_build_configurations), I'd rather we just stopped pretending that Firefox is at all supported on it tbh. The build breaks with a new issue with almost every new version. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1490995 Title: Firefox 40 ftbfs on powerpc in wily Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: This ftbfs error is preventing 40 from hitting the release pocket.
