[Bug 1583849] Re: dist-upgrade & FF upgrade breaks FF & Midori 16.04 PPC

[elvisplatini]

Hi,
On my powermac G5, running Lubuntu 16.04, I downgraded firefox to 45.02, and it 
worked again (I'm currently using it). I used:

sudo apt-get install firefox=45.0.2+build1-0ubuntu1
sudo apt-mark hold firefox

I know it's not really satisfactory, that it would be better to try to
fix the 46 version bug, but until I manage to succeed in this skill
(maybe in 150 years), it allows me to avoid going back to macOS 10.5.

@John:

Thanks for the follow-up . . . appreciate the suggestion on downgrading;
however it seemed that there was some problem with Midori as well . . .
???  Not a whole lot of options for browsers in PPC . . . hopefully FF will
pull itself together.

As you can see in the linked upstream bug report, Firefox is currently
broken on all big-endian architectures. The only known workaround for
this is currently downgrading to Firefox 44.
