We are down to #1021810 and #982794 which are both about support for 32 bit architectures. If we end up dropping 32 bit architectures from firefox-esr, #982794 won't be an issue any more. If not, I think we can ignore #982794 as it's not a regression compared to stable. As Emilio commented in #1021801, I would defer to him on these two bugs. Cheers -- Sebastian Ramacher
