Thanks tle. FF BE it is huge milestone.

So next milestone will be GLES-3.0 BE  mesa driver support, otherwise firefox webrender hard accel do not work. Atm only gles2.0 extensions is supported on BE.

That's way out of scope. Even if I want to do it, I have zero clue about mesa codebases. My initial goal was to get SpiderMonkey up and running on BE. Fortunately the full Firefox can be built and ran successfully (despite of lacking optimisations in many components). I guess that is enough as foundation for the community to improve upon.

https://github.com/runlevel5/firefox-ppc64/releases/tag/FIREFOX_153_0_4_RELEASE_PPC64 has also added support for PowerPC970 (G4/G5). I have tested it on Debian Linux running on my POWER9 box and had 2 folks in the ArchPOWER side to help with the verification with their G5 however I am not 100% certain that it would perfectly on native hardware (PowerMac G4)
