Thank you for the great help! I will check the configuration files and try to 
build without the flag MOZILLA_OFFICIAL=1

If you open `about:buildconfig` in Firefox, you'll see the configure
options used to build Firefox. That's a good start for obtaining a similar
build. Enabling MOZ_AUTOMATION=1 enables a bunch of supplemental build
steps you normally wouldn't get in a local build. MOZ_AUTOMATION=1 is
tailored to Mozilla's build environment. So attempting to set that locally
will likely result in multiple failures. The custom build steps you likely
care about can be run with `mach build installer` + `mach build package`.

Are you comparing a packaged version of your build to a packaged 
official build, a or an unpackaged version of your build to a packaged 
official build?

A release version will have the MOZILLA_OFFICIAL variable set (i.e. add
"mk_add_options MOZILLA_OFFICIAL=1" to your .mozconfig file). As the
name implies however such a build cannot be redistributed as is, just so
that you know.

You will find the release mozconfig files under browser/config/mozconfigs

How to configure mozilla Firefox build options to build a customized release/developer edition build?

[Erxin Shang]

Hi Mozilla Experts, 

I'm trying to build a release version Firefox. But after the build there seems 
still a little bit different compare to the official build. Such as the 
official build doesn't contain the folder chrome/, components/, gmp-fake/ etc 
in the root of Firefox folder. 

Current build options: 

mk_add_options AUTOCLOBBER=1 

ac_add_options --enable-application=browser 
ac_add_options --enable-artifact-builds 
ac_add_options --target=x86_64-pc-mingw32 
ac_add_options --host=x86_64-pc-mingw32 
ac_add_options --disable-tests 
ac_add_options --enable-optimize 
ac_add_options --enable-release 
ac_add_options --disable-crashreporter 

My question is how to configure the options to build a version just like the 
official Firefox but it's a nightly build? Where can I find the build options, 
such as release/developer edition, which are used by Mozilla? 

Thanks in advance! 

Best regards, 
Edwin
