Mozilla is a dead end at this point but as it is what we have... 45ESR 
is going to be harder to port as they accelerate their change for the 
point of change agenda. After 45ESR it may become very hard as they're 
moving the build system to Rust
I even went so far to attempt building PaleMoon (forked from FF25) it 
built and ran and even displayed web pages but is it broken :) and I 
haven't been able to figure out to proceed. Codes on Github so maybe 
someone else will pick it up.
