I don't really want to be in the business of making a Power-specific Firefox long term (I did that for over a decade with TenFourFox and it's a pain); I'd rather have a build that distros can pick up. The aim with the JIT is to do just that. There will necessarily be a separate branch for a bit while the code stabilizes but the goal is not to have a fork.

MauryG5:
Yes, I understand what you mean, I made this hypothesis only to favor our build as much as possible, if it were specific it would have all the code optimized for us and would have even better performance but maybe already for how you are working, equally the final result is that of the version optimized for us. Instead as soon as possible, I need your advice since Firefox knows it better than anyone else in here perhaps, for an annoying problem that I can't solve and that afflicts the Ubuntu version and that no one has solved until now ... If you tell me where to write then to expose the problem you will be grateful ... Thanks

ClassicHasClass:
Well, what's the exact problem? You can certainly post a report on Bugzilla but they'd probably appreciate it being triaged first.

amock:
Are you talking about the problem reported at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1591164?  I never got around to reopening that bug, but if you are having that problem I think that's a good place to start.  I have been building my own Firefox to get around it, but I just tested with the system Firefox and it still happens.

MauryG5:
No I'm talking about the problem that I had already exposed some time ago on the anomalies related to Ubuntu on Power.  Whenever you open Firefox on Ubuntu, it always tells you that the history is not working because there is some other part of Ubuntu that is using that file that Firefox needs to make the history work properly.  This thing has never been solved and the bad thing is that this problem only has Firefox on Ubuntu, in other distributions including Debian, it does not happen ... I tried to delete that file that Firefox recommends me to delete in the guide but unfortunately it continues to always do it ...
