Build instructions for Firefox can be found on the Firefox homepage:

I can't really give you a course on how to use build environments though,
so you'd have to give it a try yourself and use some Google-fu or the help
of the mailing list when you get stuck.

Not really. It's always a matter of installing the build dependencies and 
looking
up the upstream documentation or Debian's build scripts for the package in 
question
on how it's done.
