I think the bumps will be trivial.

The firefox.mk is more or less in stable state now and
simply changing FIREFOX_VERSION should be enough.

Ofcourse adding more optional configure options like DBus support,
libnotify etc.,
can be added later but right now it will build a very minimal binary and
im satisfied with that.

The mozconfig file which is Mozilla way of feeding all the configure
switches to build process
is pretty much stable and static now and will unlikely change for very
long time.

And the only changes I had to make to actual code was to replace finite()
with more standard isinf() and handle glibc specific malloc_usable_size and
execinfo.h stuff.

When I started the version number was 11.0 and now they have released
14.0 so those things might be
even fixed by now. :-)

If not, then I will try to contact upstream for including those minor
fixes and if failing that Im
more than willing to keep those lil patches updated.
