Not having built firefox, I can't really argue.  However, I've always found
that any ubuntu/debian package could be rebuilt with something like:

        apt-get install devscripts
        apt-get build-dep <package>
        apt-get source <package>
        cd <package-dir>
        debbuild -us -uc

as described here:

Is this not true of firefox or is it the patch that causes the problem?
