Nice discovery! :-)

Now it makes me wonder if anyone is actually using the BLFS book
method of building Firefox. I know there has been much talk of
the profile issue, and resolutions for it. I will be examining
this after the 6.1 release to see if we shouldn't use the Moz
installer to install the binaries, instead of the current
'make install'.

Seems weird that nobody has reported this whitespace thing. That
is why I wonder if anyone actually uses the book method.

To be honest, the LiveCD build dropped the BLFS method a long time ago in favor of the build-method that the mozilla site suggests using a .mozconfig file and (approximately) the following commands:

sed 's:@TOPSRCDIR@:$PWD:' ../.mozconfig > .mozconfig &&
make -f client.mk build && make -f client.mk install

Attached is the .mozconfig file we use.

The build method is pretty stable and I would venture to guess doesn't suffer from the same whitespace issue.
