It should be possible to build Firefox without libvpx which is needed
only to decode WebM HTML5 video (I guess you can get along with it on
sparc64 :)

So I would try to hack port (or maybe even Firefox source if there is
no appropriate configure option - there shouldn't be a lot of places
in code where libvpx is used)

Alternatively, you can try Konqueror, but it's JS support is somewhat
outdated.

Maybe something WebKit-based will also work for you (but not Chromium!)
