2016.02.11 update: can't use Firefox anymore because of wrong architecture probe

Beginning from the latest update (2016.02.11) i can't use Firefox anymore. My device is "DEXP Ursus 9PV 3G" which probably is a clone of Chinese "Teclast X98 3G". This is (THIS IS!!!) Intel Atom Z3735D - based device. So it's architecture is definitely NOT "arm".

this information is printed in "about device" section of Android settings.

But, Google services, if installed, reports architecture as "armeabi-v7a, 17). This is widely known problem, first it was reported in July, 2015. Unfortunately, Google does not fix this.

Before the latest update of Firefox, this misunderstanding does not lead to any problem. But now Firefox checks architecture, refuses to run and proposes to download ARM-version (probably, to completely bricks my device?).

Is it possible to do somewhat (please do not suggest to kill myself by a wall).

thank you.
