Title:
  Please remove firefox binaries for ppc64el and s390x from the release
  pocket

Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  With bug #1962021, the firefox packages in jammy are becoming "transitional 
packages" that install the firefox snap and wrapper scripts.
  However the snap is available only on amd64, armhf and arm64, so to allow the 
new packages to migrate the existing binaries for ppc64el and s390x that are no 
longer built from source need to be removed.

  For s390x this should be fairly uncontroversial, as Ubuntu desktop in
  general isn't officially supported on this architecture, and firefox
  isn't tested there, only known to build successfully (autopkgtests
  have always been failing there).

  For ppc64el this is perhaps a bit more controversial, although the
  reality is that firefox on this architecture receives no testing from
  Ubuntu developers (not from the desktop team anyway), and autopkgtests
  have always been failing there. I don't have numbers of firefox users
  on this architecture.

  Note that upstream is not committed to supporting these architectures
  either, they fall in their Tier-3 targets (see https://firefox-source-
  docs.mozilla.org/contributing/build/supported.html#supported-build-
  targets). Given that the maintenance of the firefox snap is a joint
  effort between Mozilla and the Ubuntu desktop team, it is unlikely
  that we will start building the firefox snap for ppc64el or s390x.

  The binaries that need removing are: firefox, firefox-dbg, firefox-
  dev, firefox-geckodriver.

  The last three in the list (firefox-dbg, firefox-dev, firefox-geckodriver) do 
not have any reverse dependencies.
  The binary package firefox itself is recommended or suggested by a good 
number of packages, and is also a direct dependency of the following packages:
    - cinnamon-desktop-environment (all): depends on "firefox-esr | firefox | 
chromium | gnome-www-browser"
    - firefox-dbg: not an issue as this one also needs removing
    - firefox-geckodriver: not an issue as this one also needs removing
    - firefox-launchpad-plugin (all): depends on "firefox"
    - gnome-core (linux-any): depends on "firefox-esr (>= 78) | firefox (>= 78) 
| chromium | chromium-browser | epiphany-browser"
    - webhttrack (any): depends on "iceape-browser | iceweasel | icecat | 
mozilla | firefox | mozilla-firefox | www-browser"
    - x2gothinclient-minidesktop (all): depends on "firefox-esr | firefox | 
chromium | x-www-browser"
