    8080If I have to start afresh, I like Firefox to create the default profile with my bookmarks already there. To do this, copy ~/.mozilla/firefox/<random number>/bookmarks.html into the mozilla source, mozilla/browser/locales/en-US/profile/bookmarks.html then the next time you run the build script they'll be built in. If it causes a problem for cvs then delete the file and run the build script again, cvs will replace it. [[BR]]
    8181Another file that's ripe for tweaking is mozilla/browser/app/profile/prefs.js which, when it becomes the prefs.js file in you profile, stores many imporant settings (font sizes and suchlike). Firefox is picky about the syntax of that file so it's probably best not to edit it directly. Alter it by entering about:config in Firefoxs addressbar, make the changes you want, close Firefox and then copy the prefs.js from your profile.

     83== Building on non-x86 architectures ==
     84Most architectures seem to have flakey handling of the visibility pragma.  If you encounter errors such as [[BR]]
     85  undefined reference to `memcpy@@GLIBC_2.0' [[BR]]
     86
     87you need to add the following to your .mozconfig [[BR]]
