The better approach is to setup sbuild as explained here:

Then look at the previous build logs and pick a Firefox version that built successfully:

That would be 63.0.3-1.

Then search for that version on snapshot.debian.org and download it:

$ dget -u http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20181003T162948Z/pool/main/f/firefox/firefox_62.0.3-1.dsc

Then build that package with:

$ sbuild -d sid --arch=sparc64 --no-arch-all firefox_62.0.3-1.dsc
