:I chose to build Firefox using the release 1.5.0.6 source which was available online on the mozilla release [http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/1.5.0.6/source/ website]. I downloaded firefox-1.5.0.6-source.tar.bz2 and then extracted the content of thearchive into /Users/Moe/proj/.

:At first I had decided to build Firefox using Visual Studio 2005 on Windows XP. No knowing where to start I did what I usually do when I don’t have a clue about something. I googled it. Using the following search query “build Firefox using visual studio” in google I was directed to [http://cs.senecac.on.ca/~david.humphrey/writing/firefox-win32-build.html].
