I am not asking to support ARMv6. I am asking that broken packages should not be installed and there should be a solution to it. E.g. which release dropped the support - how can I install the last release that supported ARMv6?
The Mozilla bug network of what is issued where is not possible to navigate for a newcomer: So. This is an issue not for new Firefox releases but for the Firefox-ESR repository that I install from. How can people with an ARMv6 CPU still use Firefox?
This issue is not resolved until it finds the right place to be spoken about.
