+      There are two major methods for building <application>Firefox</application>.
+      In the standard case, the entire suite of libraries is built and 
+      installed.  In the other, most of the system is built using the procedures
+      found in <xref linkend="xulrunner"/>.  This is advantageous if you
+      are planning to build other related packages such as <xref linkend="icedtea-web"/>,
+      <xref linkend="seamonkey"/>, or <xref linkend="thunderbird"/>.  With 
+      either build method, you need to run the main build procedure below with
+      the appropriate options in the <filename>mozconfig</filename> file.  Then
+      use the appropriate instructions depending on the chosen build method.
