Help Ubuntu maintain xulrunner rdepends on ARMin category Linux Distributions

Project Summary
Hi! I'm one of the maintainers of the Mozilla Package set in Ubuntu. I would like to be able to make sure that the package set (including Firefox, Thunderbird, and Xulrunner) builds correctly on ARM. I also would like to be able to try to reproduce bugs on ARM if people report bugs on this platform. This would also give me the opportunity to see if there are any performance differences between the products on ARM and x86/x86_64.Thank you for your consideration,
Micah Gersten

Earlier this month we had a Firefox update fail to build on ARM in natty. The fix looked straightforward, so I uploaded it without trying it on ARM. It didn't work. Luckily, I had an ARM machine to test it on, thanks to the Power Developer program. I was able to tweak the fix until it actually worked and the next upload succeeded on ARM.
Thanks Power Developer Program!
