On a amd64 node running NetBSD 8.0, I have installed Firefox-71 from pkgsrc.
These tips may help others and may allow a developer to identify the root of some problems. 1) Webgl. I wanted to verify a DXF file and Autodesk proposes an online viewer using Webgl. https://get.webgl.org/ said that Firefox apparently supported Webgl but it was not functionnal. In fact, setting in about:config webgl.force-enabled true in sufficient to get things working. 2) Crashes. When trying some actions (save as...) or when reading some pages, Firefox crashes. Firefox was exec'ed from twm(1) menu. In order to see at least some messages to have clues about what was going on, I run firefox from an xterm... And then, surprise : no crashes... Apparently this has something to do with Javascript sending messages to the console and with the (apparently) absence of a tty when run from the twm(1) menu. So, now, I run it from an xterm and since it "speaks" a lot (a lot of warnings from various components), I invoke it with firefox --MOZ_LOG_FILE=/dev/null& to keep it quiet.
