Are you writing this up anywhere? Sounds interesting.
TenFourFox* is awesome, by the way.
You might want to add on its homepage that Opera has also abandoned
PowerPC, but never even finished debugging the most recent and
crash-prone PPC releases, adding insult to injury.

The latest
project I've been working on (which was just announced [1]) was
done in C, and I have a hard time considering it an "embedded" system, ...
Right now as we speak I'm writing a POWER macroassembler for Mozilla's
JavaScript interpreter, which turns bytecodes into one:many POWER assembly
instructions. I'm modelling the memory access on SPARC and the ALU work on
ARM. It's going to be a curious hybrid when I'm finished (about 33%).
The "trampoline" that hands off execution is handwritten PPC assembly.
