==Build Firefox==
For building firefox I followed the instructions on [http://annasob.wordpress.com/category/build/ annasob's blog] on how to build firefox on different platforms, also looked at build instructions and prerequisites @ [https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Developer_Guide/Build_Instructions Mozilla Developing Center(MDC)].
I didn't figure out why it was so slow though on both Vista and Win 7.
I tried to build based on the same .mozconfig file, but the first error I got was related to SDK. I needed to upgrade SDK version based on these [https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Windows_SDK_versions recommendations] to SDK 7, and the .Net Framework to 4. Also I needed to change the SDK version in the SDK configuration tool to 7.1.
At the end, the build was successfully done after 2 hours on Win 7 and on Vista it's not completed yet after more than 4 hourson Vista!
