restore note about SHELL envar in firefox instructions

chroot, make

prepend
        <envar>SHELL=/bin/sh</envar> to the first make command below.

I'm not really opposed to leaving this in the book, but I question how
relevant it is.  FF has a huge number of prerequisites and I question
how many people would get to it still in chroot.

If I remember correctly, we had two people on the mailing list asking about this issue in the past 6 months so I'm probably not the only one who builds Firefox in chroot.


If on a single system, it is easier to work from twm or other simple wm
or text mode browser than chroot.

Seriously?
