Iceweasel 40.0.3-1 was released for the unofficial Debian PPC64 port. I installed it inside my Debian PPC64 chroot. Unfortunately it doesn't start.

Error messages:

Code: Select all

too much recursion
Segmentation fault
Iceweasel and Firefox 40.X.X aren't available for all Ubuntu flavours and for Debian with 32-bit userland currently.

Hi All,

Iceweasel was updated to version 40.0.3-3 for the unofficial Debian PPC64 port. I installed it inside my Debian PPC64 chroot. Unfortunately it doesn't start either.

Note: Iceweasel and Firefox 40.X.X PowerPC aren't available for all Ubuntu flavours and for Debian with 32-bit userland currently.

Cheers,

Christian

I can get the latest Icedove (also version 40) to work normally. No luck with either Firefox 40 or Iceweasel 40.

*** UPDATE: FIREFOX 40.0.3 out for Lubuntu on power platforms! according to the hype it supposed to have special Linux features about multi-threading browsing.

Today, after an update I just got Firefox 42.0+build2 PowerPC. This new Firefox is only available for the development version of Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.

Image

Iceweasel build status: https://packages.debian.org/de/experimental/iceweasel

Firefox build status: launchpad.net

Unfortunately you need a new Ubuntu version like 15.10 or 16.04 to get a new Firefox version.

Status:

Ubuntu 15.10 flavors: Firefox 41.0.2+build2

Ubuntu 16.04 favors: Firefox 42.0+build2
