    I’ll try compiling it now. Also, it took me a while to realize FF is Firefox.

    Edit: It failed! I tried 2 times, it starts compiling, but after some time, I just find the terminal closed and it doesn’t run. Anyways I won’t bother with it, I only did it to torture my computer a little.

      Might be the out of memory killer. For me, Mach (Firefox’s build tool) usually did a multi-processed build assuming around 1 GB RAM per thread. Run ./mach build -j10 to limit the build to e.g. 10 threads. Or set mk_add_options MOZ_PARALLEL_BUILD=10 in your config file.

      Firefox only takes half an hour on my Ryzen 5800X desktop anyway. Modern CPUs can chew through those chunky compile jobs pretty quickly.
