Here is a working Firefox 59 deb package cross-compiled for 18.04 armhf: https://www.dropbox.com/s/17ypog6btdq4wj7/firefox_59.0.1%2Bbuild1-0ubuntu1_armhf.deb?dl=0
I have installed and tested on RaspEX (Bionic armhf). I can also confirm it works sandboxed on Ubuntu MATE Xenial and Raspbian Stretch. One way to run on older systems is to unpack locally using ar + tar, download libc6 and libstdc++6 bionic armhf debfiles and untar them as well, then do: cd path/to/usr/lib/firefox LD_PRELOAD=path/to/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libstdc++.so.6:path/to/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libm.so.6 \ ./firefox Cross-compiling via dpkg-buildpackage is fraught of issues, and similar to what Chituc experienced the most difficult part was getting rustc to properly cross-compile in all cases. I posted my main workaround for a host/target header bug here: https://github.com/rust-lang-nursery/rust- bindgen/issues/1229 To prevent the Skia misaligned instruction crash, I ended up editing gfx/skia/generate_mozbuild.py to force SK_JUMPER_USE_ASSEMBLY to False. However, there's stubborn code at the top of SkJumper.cpp that ends up turning it on again so I had to override that too. Telling Skia to use its non-asm fallback mode should be better than disabling Skia altogether as we had for Firefox 57. I tested some of our earlier theories too, and so far building Skia with clang, everything with -thumb, -fstack-protector-strong, --enable-rust- simd or other suggestions above do not seem to help at all with the Skia SIGILL nor the strd r2, r3, [r1] SIGSEGV. As for that strd r2, r3, [r1] crash, not much progress there aside from our theory that it's in the XPCOM armhf-specific code. I'm merely avoiding it by building in a 18.04 Docker container, but still no idea why that works. ** Bug watch added: github.com/rust-lang-nursery/rust-bindgen/issues #1229 https://github.com/rust-lang-nursery/rust-bindgen/issues/1229 -- 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/1711337 Title: Firefox crashes at start on armv7L after 55.0.1 update Status in Mozilla Firefox: Expired Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Firefox always crashes when launched after the 55.0.1 update on an Orange Pi PC Plus (a single-board computer similar to a Raspberry Pi), even in safe mode.
