Not to worry, the patches are actually very small and I was surprised how little I had to change code. But the actual build process was very ... messy ... and i had spend most of the last four months of (and lot's of hair tearing) finding just the right combination of build switches to make the damn thing compile and actually run. Firefox extensions work now and It even plays YouTube videos with gnash plugin. Yay! :-) So the biggest files are firefox.mk, which I have commented extensively so that nobody has to go for this trouble again, and mozconfig file. I also have added optional feature that when enabled will try to make Firefox as privacy enhanced as possible (using NoScript and AdblockPlus extension plus my own about:config settings) If the yasm package patch and that little cairo option addition patch are both okay for you I will then send one final patch (few little changes needed to sqlite.mk) and then im ready to send the actual firefox.
