Hello, since I just bought a Powermac G5 (powermac11.2) Dual 2 GHz, I'm running Debian 12 SID on it. I also keep trying to compile or install a current browser. Unfortunately this doesn't work for reasons I don't understand. How has this progressed? The current version of Firefox is 132.0.0.2 and still produces the memory access error on my ppc64 Mac. Segmentation fault. Is there anything new to report here? I can definitely try something out with guidance. But I'm not a programmer or even a hacker.
