Hi,

consider to compile Firefox yourself. It's PITA to do this, since
Firefox is bloatware. IIRC it takes more than an hour on my machine and
it can't be build in tmpfs with around 4 GiB of available tmpfs.

IOW build it on your HDD or SSD and be patient.

I don't know what flags you need to use to configure Firefox
for your machine. You should get in contact with upstream.
