Re: Firefox 133 test package for ppc64

Some feedback for others who might try this...

I started off by upgrading to firefox 138, which is the current default when you install or upgrade firefox, on my DualG5 with 3.5G Ram.

It opened, but there was no content in the windows, and none of the firefox menus would respond after a long time.

I uninstalled it, purged it, and reinstalled it, and same outcome.

So I purged that, and installed the recently-fixed version of firefox 133 from the latest snapshot.

That opened, and then when I clicked on the interface anywhere (menus, etc) the system hard crashed and needed to be power cycled. That happened twice further, after rebooting each time.. 

Then I rebooted and launched X with MATE instead of my usual LXDE, for no particular reason. Whether that had anything to do with anything, firefox 133 then opened, and so far is working (albeit slowly) without crashing or bringing down the system.

I'll leave it like this for a while, and then eventually will try firefox 138 again. I don't have any explanation for the above observations as yet, just observations.

As far as I can tell, all the other applications I have installed (cherrytree, many others) are working normally.
