Firefox 44.0.1 is available for the releases 15.10 and 16.04 of all Ubuntu flavors.

Screenshot: The latest Firefox 44.0.1 and the ubuntu MATE Welcome screen on Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS PowerPC??????

....

Yes, it is possible. Firefox and the Welcome screen runs in a ubuntu MATE 15.10 PowerPC chroot.

This is great news. Ubuntu 12-x1000 has a bit buggy Firefox. Midori is lightweight and usable, but not so expandable as FF.
Iceweasel, Seamonkey and others are not avail from Software Center or repositories.

Now, we just need a good kernel + Ubuntu 16 ram init for install.

Note: seems that all newer PPC distros have changed install method from initrd files to their own boots
(that simply don`t work on X1000) rendering old and nice Debian_Linux_Installation_Rev2.5.1.6_X-1000.pdf guide unsable.

Hope to see some nicer fruits of your labor in form of a baseline DVD with Mate, CInamon, new FF ... and updated Ubuntu

There are new versions of iceweasel and icedove available for Debian.

Debian Sid MATE PowerPC: Bye-bye iceweasel and welcome Firefox 45.0.1 ESR! Debian renamed Iceweasel in Firefox.

It turns out an old version of FF on OpenSuze 64 bit works much better than whatever runs on the various 32 bit Ubuntu-based installations. I don't know if it is the difference in 64/32 bit just that it works as I remember from other platforms.

Firefox 47-b1 is available for Debian Sid.
