There are XPCOM stubs for a lot of platforms in Mozilla. Mostly bitrotted, but even if they're fully restored, I just don't think Firefox is that portable anymore. Although apparently there's a RHEL package for Firefox on s390 that worked fairly recently, so I dunno. EDIT: Using Debian as an example, the latest version is available on x86{_64}, ARM{64}, mips64, and ppc64le. And s390x. ppc64 is in debports. 32 bit MIPS is lagging behind a few versions, no idea if it just hasn't been rebuilt or there's a new blocker. sparc64 is stuck on 62, it probably can be patched up but judging by some bug reports is sort of similar to ppc64{le} in needing some TLC, and I doubt anyone is really using it. hppa/m68k are stuck on 52/50, left behind with the move to Rust I'd assume. All I'm saying is in practice I'd expect porting firefox to a new platform to be a pretty involved effort. Even if you have LLVM and Rust support, there's a lot of moving parts inside, and it's not like the old days where most of the platform specific bits were inside NSPR.
