[Bug 2078858] [NEW] Backport llvm-toolchain-16 to focal for firefox

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Recent releases of Firefox deb packaged for focal have been failing on
increasingly more architectures[1] mainly due to the outdated version of
clang/llvm available on focal (currently llvm-toolchain-13), to the
point where the current Firefox 130 stable series focal deb package only
builds successfully on amd64 and all other arches are stuck with older
vulnerable firefox deb packages.

As such, it would be great if llvm-toolchain-16 or newer would be
backported to focal (and jammy) so we could hopefully build newer
releases of Firefox on those arches again.
