Speaking as a person who has built Firefox on my own before, the only hard part about building Mozilla is the balancing act between the required versions of gecko-sdk and cairo. Overall, I've had zero problems building it once I sorted out the exact releases it wants (this is why when on a newer distribution, I normally have two versions of cairo, gecko-sdk, and pango; the one the distro ships, and the one that older apps need). -- Gary L.
