Dear Mozilla, I want to know how to execute the Firefox in our board.

 - i.MX7D doesn't have the GPU / i.MX7D doesn't support the OpenGL.

 - Install
   . Copy the Firefox on the board, as apk
   . Enable "Unknown Sources" in Settings/Security/
   . Install Firefox.apk
 - Execute Firefox
   . Execution was OK.
   . But Firefox occurred the below message.
     "Firefox had a problem and crashed. Your tabs should be listed on the Firefox Start page when you restart."
 - Android logcat
   . For your more understanding, I'll attached the Android Log.

I think it's the problem for the firefox excution fail that i.MX7D doesn't have the GPU and the i.MX7D doesn't support the OpenGL. So I think the firefox can execute normally if the firefox can be executed without OpenGL. Could you tell me how to execute the firefox without OpenGL?
