With <application>Firefox-31.0</application> and later versions, you

must have installed <application>Openssl</application> before

<application>Python 2</application> or the build system will quickly
|

fail with output including "ImportError: cannot import name

an older version of Firefox), check if

<filename>/usr/lib/python&python2-majorver;/lib-dynload/_ssl.so</filename>

exists. If it does not, reinstall <xref linkend="python2"/> (after
