Hi Malini,

I'm trying to get Marionette working so I can play around with it for a project 
we're working on, but I'm finding the setup instructions really difficult to 
follow.

Using https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Marionette/Setup I've downloaded 
the nightly build of firefox and run it, added the 2 "about:config" rows, and 
downloaded "mozilla-build" but now I'm totally stuck :(.

The "building Firefox" link doesn't work (404 error), but I found some 
instructions for that here: 
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Developer_Guide/Build_Instructions/Windows_Prerequisites.
 It suggests I download 'mozilla-build'.

In the instructions at 
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Marionette/Setup ...:
1. Does "mozilla-central" mean the same as "mozilla-build"?
2. Where (and what) is my "mozconfig"? There's no file on my pc called 
'*mozconfig*'. Should I just make one with the string "ENABLE_MARIONETTE=1" in 
it? Where?
3. "You may now configure and build ..." build what? mozilla-build? I can't run 
those make commands in there because there's no "client.mk" file.
4. If I did somehow get it to build, what's my 'object-directory'?

I think I'm struggling because I'm not sure what the high level idea is here. 
Am I trying to rebuild my copy of nightly FF with marionette enabled prior to 
it being rebuilt? Should I be doing all of this in Linux instead of Windows 
(the instructions say windows, but maybe that's not correct)?

Apologies for my stupidity here, this is all a bit new to me and I get more 
intelligent after a coffee ;o)
