You may try to disable GPU acceleration. However, there doesn't seem to
be a command line parameter for that. So, the easiest way would be to
SSH into your ppc64 machine and run firefox with "firefox -no-remote".
For example:
$ ssh -X -C debian-ppc64
$ firefox -no-remote
Then go into the settings menu to disable it, see [1].
