Iceweasel was updated to version 40.0.3-3 for the unofficial
Debian PPC64 port. I installed it inside my Debian PPC64 chroot.
Unfortunately it doesn't start either.<br>
<br>
Note: Iceweasel and Firefox 40.X.X PowerPC aren't available for
all Ubuntu flavours and for Debian with 32-bit userland
currently.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>

Hi Lennart,<br>
<br>
Thank you for your answer.<br>
<br>
Unfortunately the increasing of the stack spaces wasn't
successfully.<br>
<br>
I tried the following stack sizes:<br>
<br>
ulimit -s 16384<br>
ulimit -s 32768<br>
ulimit -s 65536<br>
ulimit -s 131072<br>
<br>
iceweasel Debian PPC64 in a chroot:<br>
<br>
too much recursion<br>
Segmentation fault<br>
<br>
Rgds,<br>

Hi All,<br>
<br>
Iceweasel and Firefox 40.X.X PowerPC aren't available for
all Ubuntu<br>
flavours and for Debian with 32-bit userland currently.<br>
<br>
There are build problems:<br>
<br>
Iceweasel 40 build status:<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://packages.debian.org/de/experimental/iceweasel"
rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://packages.debian.org/de/experimental/iceweasel</a><br>
<br>
Firefox 40 build status: <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/"
rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/</a><br>
<br>
But iceweasel 40.0.3-1 was released for the unofficial
Debian PPC64 port. I<br>
installed it inside my Debian PPC64 chroot. Unfortunately
it doesn't start.<br>
<br>
Error messages:<br>
<br>
too much recursion<br>
Segmentation fault<br>
<br>
Is anyone working on resolving this issue?<br>

Could you try what happens if you change the stack size
limit?<br>
<br>
ulimit -s 16384 (I believe the current default that you can
check with<br>
ulimit -a is 8192). Could even try something even bigger
like 65536.<br>
Then run firefox from that terminal where you changed the
limit<br>
temporarily.<br>
<br>
Certainly with 64 bit pointers and 64 bit registers, ppc64
could be using<br>
quite a bit of stack space in the javascript engine, which
appears to<br>
be the thing that always causes this error in firefox (seems
to happen<br>
everytime they change the engine in a major way, and then
things get<br>
tweaked until it works again, then it gets broken again).<br>
