Having at least 8GB of RAM is + recommended, and more is always better. The build process is both CPU + and I/O intensive, so building on a machine with an SSD is also + strongly preferred. +- Fast broadband internet is strongly recommended as well. Both the + development environment and the source code repository are quite + large. +- Though you can build Firefox to run on 32-bit machines, the build + process for almost all of our products requires a 64-bit OS. |
