Yes, it will. cairo-gtk2 is the default (last I looked). > You need to pick either that one or cairo-qt if you are building on linux. > >> --enable-oji >> will Firefox run without this?

And as all up-to-date Java plugins without security problems on Linux are not OJI, you will want to not set this one. >> --enable-mathml >> I don't really need it right now. > > Add "ac_add_options --disable-mathml" to your .mozconfig file. Don't bother, or does it matter if you save 15 kB in the binaries? Nothing will run faster if you disable it. >> --enable-storage >> will Firefox run without this?

SQLite is an integral part of Firefox by now. The flag above is probably ignored. >> --disable-ogg >> One thing I might consider enabling.

Use --disable-ogg is you don't want HTML5-like Ogg-Theora movies in webpages. Peter.
