sudo dpkg -i firefox_57.0.4+build1-0ubuntu0.14.04.1_armhf.deb
echo 'user_pref("gfx.content.azure.backends", "");' >> ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/prefs.js

You can stop software updater from suggesting to update Firefox using this command:

sudo apt-mark hold firefox firefox-locale-en

change ‘hold’ with ‘unhlod’ to restore updates

Great! Thanks for sharing!

You are welcome kayccc

Unfortunately the URL at launchpadlibrarian seems no longer to exist.
The release archive at mozilla.org on the other hand does not offer ARM (armv71) builds.
Any other suggestion? An install from source would need a steep learning curve for me …
