Thanks.

Best would be to report bugs:

For 32-bit PowerPC, use these tags:

User: debian-powerpc@lists.debian.org
Usertags: powerpc
X-Debbugs-CC: debian-powerpclists.debian.org

For 64-bit PowerPC, use:

User: debian-powerpc@lists.debian.org
Usertags: ppc64
X-Debbugs-CC: debian-powerpclists.debian.org

(The mail addresses for ppc64 are correct, no typo).

Well, at least one ppc64 you should be able to use the latest
vanilla Firefox. For 32-bit PowerPC (powerpc), someone needs to
work on the WASM-Support which is missing. We have Rust for 32-bit
PowerPC, so that's not a problem.

FWIW, I would be careful running forks of Firefox. Firefox is software
which subject to a lot of security issues, so it needs a strong upstream
which will fix vulnerabilities within a short time frame.
