Damn. Wow, it seems like Mozilla is getting more fired up lately. They are also actively communicating (recent couple of AMAs) and listening to their users (through Mozilla connect and working on much requested features)!
- They plan on doing that change since over a year lol
  
  And their build docs are incredibly confusing, I have no idea how distro packagers can do this.
  
  I built Firefox from source for a while, and it just broke after a while.
  
  I'm guessing someone figured it out once, and everyone just copies from them...
  
  I mean they have some form of docs, and I got it to build. But hell even installing mercurial is totally weird.
  
  Btw, you can see the build flags your distro uses from within FF, I think it is about:build
