I followed the instructions on annasob's blog on how to build firefox on different platforms, also took a look at Build instructions @ developer.mozilla.org.

First, I tried to build firefox on Vista:

Intel Processor Dual Core 2.0 Ghz

2GB DDR2 memory

Windows Vista 32bit

Visual Studio 2010

and my .mozconfig looked like this:

. $topsrcdir/browser/config/mozconfig mk_add_options MOZ_OBJDIR=@TOPSRCDIR@/objdir-ff-release mk_add_options MOZ_MAKE_FLAGS="-j2" mk_add_options MOZ_CO_PROJECT=browser

ac_add_options --enable-application=browser ac_add_options --disable-optimize ac_add_options --enable-debug
