From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Wow, only took them ... years!
If perhaps pretty please Mozilla realizes that an official ARM64 Flatpak is the perfect distribution channel for their nightly (and hopefully soon stable) ARM64, I'll be happy and they did a great service to the Linux community. (Especially regarding Fedora Atomic Desktops / Aeon.)
So Firefox Nightly on the Raspberry Pi?
So Firefox Nightly for Linux on top of Arm64 hardware, like Apples, Lenovos, a whole bunch of Chromebooks etc.
Raspberry Pis have been arm64 since at least the 3, but raspbian was armv7 for a while longer. So yeah this would work on a raspberry pi with a aarch64 OS.
