Check out mozilla source
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.&nbsp;&nbsp;Build the source in <b>C:\proj\mozilla</b> <pre>$make -f client.mk build</pre>
The time it takes to build Firefox depends on your machine. It could take as little as 16 minutes or as long as 3 hours! Just be patient and a miracle will happen (unless the console spurts out error code - refer to my list of [[Liz_Chak_Assignment_1#Problems_and_Solutions|problems ]] if you encounter any, hopefully it helps).
Your newly built monster, I mean, Firefox will be in <b>C:\proj\mozilla\firefox-objdir\dist\bin</b>. Double click on the executable file that looks like a time-bomb (and cross your fingers to hope that it wouldn't crash your system).
