That's great news. Could you post your instructions? This would allow others here to help out, considering most of us don't have ARM boards with much RAM or 20 hours of patience.

This also opens up the possibility of making a build on Debian 9 to match up better with Raspbian Stretch, rather than having to resort to 14.04 binaries there.

It appears that way, although worth noting that the crash at startup also happens in Firefox 57, specific to the 16.04 build. You can check that out by doing wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/352606050/firefox_57.0.4+build1-0ubuntu0.16.04.1_armhf.deb and running it.

Yeah, it appears to get around the crash at startup (before any window appears, and thus before the SkJumper part) it might be necessary to build under Ubuntu 14.04 toolchains (gcc 4.8, libc 2.19).
