Bug Description

Firefox crashes every time I try to launch it. This is on recent install.

Ubuntu Mate 17.10 on a raspberry pi 2B.

If I start in gdb (firefox -g) I get:

Thread 1 "firefox" received signal SIGILL, Illegal instruction.
0x73b6f0d2 in _sk_xor__vfp4 () from /usr/lib/firefox/libxul.so

Same thing on armhf Chromebook running Crouton. I started seeing this around Firefox 56, I believe.
