This document will help you get set up to build Firefox on your own computer. Getting set up won't be difficult, but it can take a while - we need to download a lot of bytes! Even on a fast connection, this can take ten to fifteen minutes of work, spread out over an hour or two. The details are further down this page, but this quick-start guide should get you up and running: One-Line Setup (Try This First!) You can manually install the build prerequisites yourself (see below), but if you want to save yourself some manual effort you can use the bootstrap.py script to automate the process. Your macOS account will need administrator privilages to run this script successfully. (You can verify that you have these permission in System Preferences -> Users & Groups.) You will also need: • an Apple ID (to install Xcode) • 1 hour (to download and install Xcode, which is large) • Homebrew or Macports ( bootstrap.py will install these if necessary).

Firefox 48.x is the last browser to support Snow Leopard and was released. I own MacBook Pro 1,1 (early 2006) and it has a maximum OS of Snow Leopard. Following one of many tutorials I downloaded a disk image, burned it to a. The most current version of OS X? OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion from OS X 10.5.8 Leopard.

In some circumstances - particularly if you've got a MacPorts or Homebrew development environment already set up - this script can error out. Most of those errors can be resolved by updating MacPorts ( port selfupdate && port upgrade outdated) or Homebrew ( brew update && brew upgrade). To fetch and run bootstrap.py run the following in your terminal of choice: curl > bootstrap.py && python bootstrap.py If that doesn't work, or you need more details, please. The documentation below may also be of assistance. Getting Ready They aren’t complicated, but there are a few prerequisites to build Firefox on macOS. You need: • You should know how to use /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app (or a replacement like ).

• macOS, so you can check by opening a terminal window and typing python --version. However, if you run into cryptic errors during your build, be aware that Python 2.7.11 (not lower) is the only version of Python confirmed to work perfectly with bootstrap.py. Use if you'd like to keep multiple Python versions available on your machine. • Finally, internet connection and about 40GB of free disk space for Xcode, the Firefox source and room to build.

Getting Started Getting set up on macOS is easy. If you don’t have one yet, create an 'src' directory for yourself under your home directory: cd && mkdir src Next and save it in your src/ directory.

And finally, in your terminal: cd ~/src and start the bootstrapper like this: python bootstrap.py. And follow the prompts. If you don't have Homebrew or Ports installed - software package managers that will let us install some programs we'll need - you'll be asked to pick one.

Either will work, but most Mozilla developers use Homebrew. Getting Access That last step can take some time to finish. While it’s running, take a moment to sign in to, Mozilla’s issue tracker. To comment on a bug or submit a patch you’ll need a Bugzilla account.

You can either use your, or you can In addition to Bugzilla, much of Mozilla’s internal communication happens over IRC. You can, and learn how to. If you’re just getting started or have questions about getting set up you can join us in the #introduction channel, where some of our community members hang out to try and help new contributors get rolling. Get The Code If you haven't let bootstrap.py download mozilla-unified, you can clone mozilla-central repository with the following command, in your terminal: hg clone This step uses mercurial to pull down the Firefox source code from Mozilla-Central. Hg is the chemical symbol for mercury, if you’re wondering. While you’re waiting for that to finish, take a look at. It explains how we use version control at Mozilla to manage our code and land changes to our source tree.
