@herrtimson Here's a 14.04 Trusty build: https://www.dropbox.com/s/977vzb3mu8bf34z/firefox_59.0.2%2Bbuild1-0ubuntu0.14.04.4_armhf.deb?dl=0
I used the same approach with clang + gcc headers inside a Trusty (gcc-4.8) container. Initially I got errors about ::gets() and Stack Overflow sent me down some rabbit holes of attempting to use gcc-4.9 headers or libc++ armhf. Ultimately the workaround was to comment out the offending line in gcc headers, and also fix a constexpr bug in the <complex> header. These kinds of hacks are something one can be more comfortable doing inside a Docker container. I don't have a 14.04 armhf setup but I did test this on Raspbian Stretch. Would be great if you could try it out on your system. Note initially it used up all my Pi's RAM so I had to add 1 GB of swap. For others, here is a 16.04 Xenial build: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ogdut56m2i0k0t9/firefox_59.0.2%2Bbuild1-0ubuntu0.16.04.3_armhf.deb?dl=0 -- 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.
