Please, add Firefox build for aarch64 Linux

[tavvva]

Hello,
please is there any chance to add Firefox download for Linux and aarch64 platform to the download list? The attached image shows that you currently offer a binary package for the aarch64 platform only for Windows. Some distributions do not build their own version of Firefox from sources and depend on the upstream packages and this is a blocker for the aarch64 to get a "go".
Thank you.

Thanks for submitting an idea to the Mozilla Connect community! Your idea is now open to votes (aka kudos) and comments.

I can't speak for the Release Management team about any deadline. However, I wanted to share that I've seen some movement on Bugzilla related to Linux ARM build. See https://hg.mozilla.org/integration/autoland/rev/84b5a306ab52 as an example of a patch that recently landed in the codebase.

To follow up on this request, has there been an addition yet or no?

Hello

We agree it is a great idea! This is why we did it. 🙂

See the announcement :

https://blog.nightly.mozilla.org/2024/04/19/firefox-nightly-now-available-for-linux-on-arm64/

We still have some work to make it available to beta and then release users. We would appreciate your feedback and testing of this port.

Thanks
