='''FIREFOXTasks for Firefox'''===My works on firefox stuff=====1. Firefox Build===
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.
First, I tried to build firefox on Vista:
:Intel(R) Processor D CPU 2.17 GHz - 2GB DDR2 memory - Windows Vista 32bit - Visual Studio 2010
and this was my .mozconfig:
:<code>. $topsrcdir/browser/config/mozconfig</code>
:<code>ac_add_options --disable-optimize</code>
:<code>ac_add_options --enable-debug </code>
Then I started to build it on Windows 7:
:Intel(R) Processor D CPU 3.20 GHz - 4GB DDR2 memory - Windows 7 64bit - Visual Studio 2008
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 more than 4 hours on Vista!
