Hi folks, I just landed Bug 1207890 [1] and Bug 1216817 [2]. Together, they implement Firefox "artifact builds" for Mac OS X Desktop. Artifact builds download pre-built binary artifacts (like libxul) rather than compiling them locally, trading download bandwidth for developer machine time. If you work on the Firefox Desktop front-end on Mac OS X -- meaning you're modifying JavaScript, XHTML, and CSS, and you're building on Mac OS X -- this new build mode is meant for you. Locally, I produce a working Mac OS X Firefox in about a minute.
I've written a quick start guide at http://www.ncalexander.net/blog/2015/12/31/firefox-artifact-builds-for-mac/ and will be updating documentation in the next few weeks. I thoroughly expect issues in the wild. Please file tickets depending on Bug 1207890 [1] and CC me. Discussion is best on dev-builds. Thanks!
