1.下载源码：
icecat


firefox
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/17.0.11esr/source/

测试版本为： 17.0.11esr, 24.2.0esr

2.编译 build:
官方文档 （英文） ： http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Build_Documentation
官方文档 （中文）： https://developer.mozilla.org/zh-CN/docs/%E7%BC%96%E8%AF%91%E6%89%8B%E5%86%8C?redirectlocale=zh-CN&redirectslug=Build_Documentation

a. 安装依赖 Dependency:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Developer_Guide/Build_Instructions/Linux_Prerequisites

  硬件要求  Hardware
2G RAM with lots of available swap space. Additional RAM will significantly decrease build time.
For debug builds: at least 8 GB free disk space
For optimized builds: at least 1 GB free disk space (6 GB recommended)

安装编译工具与依赖包  Build Tools and Dependencies
# wget && python bootstrap.py

配置 Configure:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Configuring_Build_Options
虽然可以通过configure 进行配置，但推荐采用mozconfig 文件

# touch .mozconfig
mk_add_options MOZ_OBJDIR=@TOPSRCDIR@/firefox-obj
ac_add_options --enable-optimize
ac_add_options --disable-debug
ac_add_options --disable-shared
ac_add_options --disable-tests

# ./configure  --prefix=/opt/usr/firefix-17.11
# make -j4

编译出错：
/usr/bin/ld:/home/water/project/open_source/mozilla-esr17/security/nss/lib/util/nssutil.def:1: syntax error in VERSION script
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

解决方法：
# for i in `find | grep -e '\.def$'`; do mv -v $i $i.orig; cat $i.orig | sed 's/;+//' | sed 's/;;//' | sed 's/ DATA //' | grep -v ";-" | sed 's/;.*/;/' > $i; doneos
ps: 得先在干净的源码中执行上面的命令而后再执行 touch .mozconfig 等编译过程

# make install

24.2.0esr
