Firefox issue
=============

I have  had to replace  my secondary desktop once  more. If you  do not
know my setup, I have a SGI O2 as  my main desktop but due to its age I
have to use a second one  for certain tasks (www stuff, USB connections
and so).

I used my Lenovo X61s for these tasks. After its HDD failure I replaced
it by the Intel Compute Stick. But it  died, thus I add SSD to the poor
X61s an used it till last Saturday.

Now I have started  to use the Odroid XU-3 [1]  (a 32-bit ARM octa-core
computer) as its  replacement. I have put it into  the Mini Indigo case
by Dodoid [2] and it runs Ubuntu MATE now.

It is nice but the new Firefox fails here. Short googling revealed that
it is a  known bug - Firefox  55+ fails on 32-bit  computers... This is
insane, I think.  So I have to  use Chromnium here. I'm  not happy with
that but at the moment it is acceptable solution.

But it seems that Mozilla Foundation  is working hard in elimination of
their  user  base  as  this  is  not a  first  Firefox  problem  (or  a
controversial change) this year.
