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
