compiling NLED and Mozilla firefox 4.0 Beta 6

We had to build two packages from source code, one of which was NLED(Neat Little EDitor) and the other could be any of our choice.First, I will outline the steps i took to compile NLED from its source code:
  1. wget http://cdot.senecac.on.ca/software/nled/nled_2_52_src.tgz 
  2. tar -xvz nled_2_52_src.tgz
    Afterwards, I had to compile and install it, the steps to do that were:
  3. make
  4. make install
That happened succesfully without any incidents of mishaps. Next i downloaded and installed firefox 6.0 Beta on my laptop which had 64-bit windows 7 professional installed on it. The steps were quite simple:
  1. went to http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-beta.html
  2. Downloaded English(US) version 4.0b6
  3. Once it was downloaded, ran the file with typical settings
  4. Now typing this blog post on version 4.0b6 of firefox
