The patch is a .diff for Firefox version 3.  So I don't think I can do the 
above.  I
have downloaded the source, patched successfully with the .diff, but can't 
figure out
how to build only the firefox portion of the source and get it installed to 
test.
Instructions from Mozilla are very vague and assume that if you are attempting 
to build
from source, you must already know what you are doing.  Apparently they don't 
account
for idiots like me :-)
