The Kali Linux arm64 porter (Steev Klimaszewski <steev at kali.org> in copy)
reported to me that firefox needs to be compiled without
MALLOC_STATIC_SIZES for it to work on all ARM64 booards available today.
This change is required for firefox to work on all boards that are
not using 64k page sizes, like the ODROID-C2.
The patch is this one:
https://github.com/archlinuxarm/PKGBUILDs/blob/master/extra/firefox/aarch64-no-static-sizes.patch
But in fact this one is based on
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-mozilla/iceweasel.git/tree/debian/patches/porting/Make-powerpc-not-use-static-page-sizes-in-mozjemallo.patch
So you should update that patch to also exclude "aarch64" from using
MALLOC_STATIC_SIZES.
Thank you!
Raphaël.
