Apply a patch
$ cd mozilla
$ patch -p0 < patch.txt

* Here '''-p0''' means strip 0 leading directories from each filename in the patch. We do this because we are in the same location (i.e., ./) as the person who created the patch. If the directories were mis-aligned, we would have to strip leading directories using -p1, -p2, etc.
