1. Introduction

Perhaps you are interested in building classic Mozilla, before the fall of the old layout engine, and the rise of the new. If so, the Classic Mozilla Build document is what you're looking for.

What this document is: A guide to building the Mozilla application.
This includes:

  1. A listing of the development tools you will need to build Mozilla.
  2. A sample set of commands to build Mozilla using the Autoconf build system.

If you're looking for documentation on developing features or fixing bugs, the Mozilla Technical Documents or Library are probably what you're looking for.
