Compiling Firefox 3 from source in Ubuntu

[Neo_The_User]

I'm trying to compile / build Firefox 3 (i686) from source to increase the code preformance but I have no idea how or what I am supposed to do. There is no Makefile and the readme says to go to the website and I can only find how to download Firefox. I'm sure this has been asked on the forums many times but I kept searching and no dice.

Have a look here (https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Download_Mozilla_Source_Code) for information. I have no idea whether it provides what you need, but it may help.

Firefox from the Mozilla website is a pre-compiled binary. You need to go to the Mozilla Developers Center.
