I just tried Firefox 67 and still get the Segmentation Fault. If someone 
managed to get Firefox to work please let me know which Linux. I have tried it 
on various Linux flavors on ZBC12 and LinuxOne Rockhopper II

I believe newer Firefox versions (64+ or 65+) shouldn't crash, should
generally work, although they might present incorrect colors due endian
issues. Work has been done for FF to run on ppc64, so s390x should work
fine too.
