Note:
Seems that while calling 'firefox -register' it tries to establish a network
connection, which won't work of course in a unconfigured sandbox. Because it
builds without "registering" I am removing the crap.
Note:
Following is a snippet from the build log:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
configure: warning: auth is no longer an extension, use --disable-negotiateauth to disable.
configure: warning: cookie and permissions are no longer extensions, use --disable-permissions to disable.
configure: warning: pref is no longer an extension, use --disable-pref-extensions to disable.
configure: error: Unrecognized extension provided to --enable-extensions: xml-rpc.

configure: error: Unrecognized extension provided to --enable-extensions: webservices.

Note:
Firefox needs a PNG library that comes with APNG (Animated Portable Network
Graphics) support, which is not included in our standard libpng.
The internal version Mozilla is using is a patched libpng which has APNG
support added, and the authors also provide patches for stock libpng, but
it seems that libpng's authors have no real interest in integrating it.
