'''Steps'''
- Download the latest [http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/libraries/win32/MozillaBuildSetup-Latest.exe MozillaBuild package]. This package contains other software that will be needed to successfully build Firefox.
- Install MozillaBuild. Default location is C:\mozilla-build.
- Run the one of the following batch files. In my case I am using visual studio 2010, so I lauched C:\mozilla-build\start-msvc10.bat.
start-msvc8.bat (VS 2005)
start-msvc9.bat (VS 2008)
start-msvc10.bat (VS 2010)
- Download the source code for the release version you would like to build. In this case, I downloaded the source code for [ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/4.0b9/source/ Firefox 4.0b9]
