I'm not doing any customization, I sometimes want to get a newer version than I can find with a rpm and sometimes I want a debug build. We are teaching web apps and like to stay up with the latest Mozilla. You get more debug info and some more tools if you build yourself. I wanted to build, but in the same place RedHat puts their stuff.
We have played with versions of Mozilla that have svg. That requires a custom build.
Thanks for the info on getting a newer version. Now to find some spare time :-)
