-The date in that command is in the European format, so tweak that to suit yourself. To run the finished build, untar it somewhere suitable and run the {firefox,thunderbird} script in the folder, just like the tarballs you can download from Mozilla.

+I find it convenient to run them in my home folder, it saves having to login as root and it means that nothing I do here can screw up my carefully crafted BLFS system.
 == Tweak the Build ==
 If 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]]
