Comment 21 for bug 908508

We might be able to get the patch in for the next beta release (towards the end of the week), depending on how much non-PPC specific code it touches. In any case, we don't normally do out-of-band uploads, especially ones which have only PPC fixes, as they're basically a no-change rebuild for all of the other architectures (which means an armel builder tied up for an entire day for no reason, plus retriggering a reupload of our build symbols).

This is becoming a pain though, as powerpc is breaking for every 6-week Firefox release and we're having to land patches late in the beta cycle to fix it (we're only 2 weeks away from the Firefox 10 release, which isn't a great time to be landing any code changes at all). IMO we're seriously going to have to consider skipping powerpc with some Firefox releases, rather than compromising the stability and quality of our other architectures.
