Hi!

Firefox is currently broken on Linux/m68k although it actually
was supported once.

I have fixed all the issues with Firefox on m68k and condensed
all necessary changes in the attached patch. I am maintaining
my own gecko-dev branch on github [1] which contains all these
fixes (plus additional fixes for the remaining architectures
where Firefox is currently broken like alpha and sparc64).

I have also sent all my m68k patches upstream, although there
are some minor differences between the changes for Firefox 50
and 51/git. The corresponding Mozilla bug report is 1325771 [2].

As of writing this, my patched firefox package for m68k should
show up on the archive servers soonish.

Cheers,
Adrian
