Thanks for the update.
Still,I wanna hear if there's any progress on Firefox PPC32

However,that's not currently ported to PPC32,right?

Hi All,
I have Debian Sid PowerPC (PPC32) on my A-EON AmigaOne X1000 Nemo (P.A.
Semi PA6T). I have the same problems with Firefox ESR.
Adrian, could you try to get in touch with the Firefox maintainer? I
think you can better discuss with him about the problems.
Thanks,
Christian

Hi Herminio,
If you want to backtrace Firefox, then you need the debug version of
Firefox. Please add the following repositories to your
/etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://debug.mirrors.debian.org/debian-debug/ unstable-debug main
deb http://debug.mirrors.debian.org/debian-debug/ experimental-
You are right. I will install them and run again.

This backtrace is not usable, it doesn't contains any symbols:
Thread 1 "firefox.real" received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
