Couldn't successfully build Firefox


My attempt to build firefox took me around 8hrs, the bulk of it spent downloading all the materials from mozilla's Mercurial repository and the actual installation itself.   Judging from the error message it appears that the installation failed due to it missing a couple of files.  I'm not sure though if this was due to an incomplete or erroneous download of the repository or caused by an error with the build itself.  I do suspect the former as I did mistakenly stop the download earlier due to it taking so long that I thought that the download had hanged.

I'll make another attempt tomorrow evening starting with a redownload of the repo and try to figure out what went wrong.
