InfoThis whole process of building Firefox has been an experience that I plan on taking with me where ever I go. I have never worked on such a large project, and having the opportunity to be a part of it was very exciting. Since this was my first time building an open source project I must admit i did get a bit fustrated since I wasn't sure what I had to do or what I needed in order to build Firefox successfully. I got some useful information from Tom Aratyn and Dave Humphrey who first helped me out with trying to build Firefox on the Windows platform. Their information and the information I found on Google helped me to understand what I needed and what I had to do. Since my Firefox crashed on my Windows platform when the build finished, I decided to try the build on Ubuntu. Installing Ubuntu was a challenge since it was my first time installing a Linux operating system on my machine. After the installation I got even more confused on where to find things. I took some time to get familiarized with the interface which I picked up after a couple of minutes of looking around on the desktop. During the process of building Firefox I started to get confused when I read on the internet that you had to install specific packages and libraries. When I read this I automatically thought that I had to download the package and libraries from the internet. But then I figured out that I just needed to type a command in the terminal to install packages and install the library manager. This was one of the things I found really confusing, but now I am getting used to the Linux environment and plan to keep using it in the near future.
