Thank you for the links. Somehow firefox 50.1.0-1 is not reachable through the standard snapshot search. But the important thing: firefox 50 works on sparc64, while firefox 59 gives a bus error. This aligns with what NetBSDs Martin Husemann is reporting. Firefox 52 is the last non-rust version to work for now. All above is currently not working. Sadly debian seems to have left out firefox52, so i am stuck with firefox50 for now. I also couldn't get firefox52 to compile via pkgsrc on debian, while it was no problem on NetBSD/sparc64. Will have to analyze this deeper, but this is not a topic for debian. Regards, Connor
