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.

It's obviously Final Fantasy.

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

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.
