Your build works how ever. The Xenial build works as expected. I also got it working Zesty MATE but needed to apt install libicu55 first.

An x86_64 package is available.

Given x64 has Tier 1 support for most modern browsers what is the use case for Arctic Fox on x64?

Old multimedia CD-ROMs with HTML and JavaScript work better with Arctic Fox than with Firefox, Edge etc. For example old language course CD-ROMs.

I see. I wasn't aware they were still in use. So that would mean the information would be portable, onto a variety of modern systems, by using a modern browser engine.
