Hi Gary,

old thread [1] in short:

Thanks for information. Let's focus on firefox's illegal ARM
instruction crasher:

* Last time I felt the only one facing a specific error it was caused
by angstrom enabling thumb(2) for ARM (long story @meta-fsl-arm).
Gary: I assume, you don't have thumb enabled - right?
* firefox doesn't crash with "--safe-mode"

Looking into meta-browser I saw that firefox pins ARM_INSTRUCTION_SET
= "arm" but firefox-l10n does not. When having some time left over
(=never) I will test with thumb disabled for firefox-l10n and
chromium.
