Building Firefox
7. To build use the command:
make -f client.mk build
 
IT DIDN'T WORK! I received an error about 1 minute in, telling me 'System header oleacc.idl is not available", luckly it gave me a link to a website with the solution. Basically its a bug in the Windows Vista version of the Microsoft platform SDK, which forgot to include the file. The file is for accessibility, and the fix was to use a different SDK, or disable it by adding a command to the .mozconfig file
ac_add_options --disable-accessibility
 
8. Ran the build command again...It worked!
 
9. Took 35 minutes to build
 
10. To run I used the command:
ff-opt/dist/bin/firefox -no-remote -profilemanage
 
BOOM Its up and running!
