Just install and set up sbuild, then download the firefox source and build

If you want to build the upstream sources, you can just create a schroot,
install the build dependencies and build Firefox according to the upstream
build instructions.

I don't think it's actually really any difficult.

I'm just using the standard tools available in Debian. It's not really rocket 
science.

I also don't remember seeing any questions regarding that here, but my memory 
might
fail me here.
