Yeah, it's not easy to find the right instructions.
http://www.mozilla.org/build/configure-build.html is the right place, I
think.

AFAIK jhbuild supports building firefox _trunk_ already; building 1.0
was somewhat more difficult iirc ---I don't remember how to do it,
exactly :/

If someone was to do the work to get jhbuild to build ff 1.0, I'm in
favour of switching the 2.12 moduleset to ff 1.0 now; otherwise I'll
wait until gecko1.8/ff1.1 release to do that.
