I download the firefox SRPM, modified the firefox.spec and firefox-mozconfig file. In SPECS/firefox.spec file: * Remove all references to cairo and pango. * Change nss version to 1.7.10 * Change nss to mozilla-nss * Change nspr version to 1.7.10 * Change nspr to mozilla-nspr. In SOURCE/firefox-mozconfig file: * Remove all references to pango. * Remove all references to cairo. Gilboa
