Re: Firefox > 115 on NetBSD 10 aarch64

[Matthew Widup <widupmm%proton.me@localhost>]

I had to do that in the past.  Since NetBSD 10.0, I haven't had to do that on my Pinebooks Pro and RockPro64, though the most recent version of Firefox I've gotten to work is 115.  I have tried starting 128 and 129 with - -safe-mode which should disable hardware acceleration.  Either way though, I suspect Firefox isn't running long enough to even do that.  It crashes immediately.  I don't know how much different than the Pi4 that a RP64 is; and don't have access to a Pi4 to try it, unfortunately.  Also I haven't yet tried building Firefox (I'd prefer not to tie up my hardware that long at this point); I've only been using the binary repository versions.
