By default, Mozilla will build with Xft support.  If you don't want
anti-aliased fonts, you can specify -DWITHOUT_XFT to disable this. 
Simply building Mozilla should result in a working version.  It works
just fine for me.  Some users have reported problems if they do not have
the latest freetype2 installed, or if they have bad fonts installed.

It might help if you run ./mozilla -g, then send a back trace if it
happens to crash.
