I've been compiling Firefox (and Mozilla before that) on consumer laptops with free software for almost 25 years. Your claim that it takes resources regular people don't have is simply false. It used to be hard, it took me an hour or two to set up my first build environment on Windows back in 1999 but in 2000 I got a linux machine and that became like three commands for setup with no fuss and today it's about as simple as opening a prompt and typing a single command. Modifying is not much harder, though if you're unfamiliar, you'd probably want to read 5 minutes of documentation.
