I have some practical experience coding in the FireFox code base— a few years ago Riccardo and I collaborated for a few weeks over the Christmas holidays to fix endian issues in TenFourFox (was PPC only then) and make that available to Intel systems. I still use that daily.

But as detailed in the thread last November, I ran into trouble getting a build system working in debian PPC for the current Firefox code base. I asked for some help, but nothing was suggested. So that is still in a folder on my dual G5.

Adrian apparently does have a working build system for that code base, and perhaps we might get something going.
