I've tried building Firefox from sources on my raspberry pi using the following commands but starting firefox produces this error: -bash: /usr/bin/firefox: can't execute this file. (translated manually). How can I fix this problem?
sudo apt-src install firefox
sudo apt-src build firefox
sudo dpkg -i *.deb
On the Raspberry Pi and Debian you need to install Iceweasel. It is Mozilla's browser for that distribution. Run: 'sudo apt-get install iceweasel' and you should be able to install without any changed repositories. See the link below:

If you are absolutely bent on getting full-fledged Firefox on the RPi, here is a link that may be helpful. There is a lot of extra work as opposed to using Iceweasel:

file /usr/bin/firefox?/usr/bin/firefox: symbolic link to `/opt/firefox/firefox'file /opt/firefox/firefox?/opt/firefox/firefox: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.18, BuildID[sha1]=0x6e884103555b3e2bc8ecc62624d2d8123d61980e, strippedIntel 80386). Raspberry PI has ARM processor - it is different architecture, thus you are getting errorcan't execute this file. ARM processor can not run binary compiled for i386 arch. Not sure howapt-srcworks and what it does but looks like you did not compile Firefox, but sort of extracted pre-compiled version. I guess on Raspberry PI it will take really long time to compile Firefox. How long did you wait for it to compile?
