Steps to Build FireFox
## At the prompt enter: cvs co mozilla/browser/config mozilla/client.mk and a mozilla sub folder will be created inside the proj folder
## go to the mozilla folder: cd mozilla
## Create a file named .mozconfig using notepad or someother editor and place it in the mozilla directory. The contents for this file can be obtained from the Appendix Section of Configure Build FireFox Optionspage at the Building the Fox Page [Mozzilla.org developer center[http://cs1developer.mozilla.org/wikien/index.phpdocs/Building_the_FoxConfiguring_Build_Options#Appendix]Firefox_Optimized_Static]. The last line of the .mozconfig file disables the installer thus NSIS is not required. If this line is missing or omitted then NSIS must be installed within it's own directory and not the bin directory. Which must be added to the path.
## Download the source files by typing make -f client.mk checkout at the prompt
## To compile the source type make -f client.mk build
