>Description:
When compiling Firefox, I edited the file Makefile as to specify the optimization level that I wished to use as to it fails to respect the CFLAG variable specified in make.conf

I added --enable-optimize=-Os to the make file

When .mozconfig file was created, not only was --enable-optimize=-Os added, but --enable-optimize=-O too, resulting in --enable-optimize=-O being used as default.

The only way around this I found was to press ctlr-c to cancel (before it got to configuration stage), manually edit the .mozconfig file, and remove the offending switches.
>How-To-Repeat:
As perusual, make install
>Fix:
delete the original .mozconfig file, and copy a static one into its place as to force it to use the options dictated by Makefile rather than going with its 'built in defaults'.
