9 I had the same problem here. The only (but perfect) solution was to
10 abandon Firefox-bin in favour of Firefox. The compilation took a minute
11 only (since most functionality is in xulrunner, which I need anyway).
12 In addition plugins are working (better) now since firefox-bin is a 32
13 bit application on a 64 bit machine which isn't ideal.
