Builds fine in 12.1 and 12.2-dev. LLVM-18, WebRTC, and ARM changes are no longer needed for dev.

The release notes for this version of ESR are very long. They can be found at https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/128.0esr/releasenotes/

One of the most notable items in here is "Firefox now defaults to the Wayland compositor when available instead of XWayland. This brings support for touchpad & touchscreen gestures, swipe-to-nav, per-monitor DPI settings, better graphics performance, and more."
