Creating a .mozconfig
The .mozconfig file contains the options that will be used to build firefox.
The first line includes the default configuration for compiling and the second line determines where the build objects are going to reside.
Having --with-system-nss and --with-system-nspr does not mean you *HAVE* to have a system installed version of nss and nspr. It makes the build system prefer to use the system installed version of nss and nspr over the internal version.
--enable-canvas enables support for the <canvas></canvas> tag.
--enable-svg enables support for rendering svg files.
--disable-tests prevents test programs from being built which saves a lot of disk space and time.
--disable-installer prevents the installer from being built.

If you would like dual monitor support, append your your .mozconfig with the following:
cat >> .mozconfig << "EOF" ac_add_options --enable-xinerama EOF
If you would like to render fonts with Pango, append your your .mozconfig with the following. This can significantly slow font rendering.
cat >> .mozconfig << "EOF" ac_add_options --enable-pango EOF
If you do not have JDK installed then add the following to your .mozconfig:
cat >> .mozconfig << "EOF" ac_add_options --disable-javaxpcom EOF
