Firefox on a bare Debian install

I wanted Firefox because I had a VPN plugin that I needed for a project. The "barebones" Debian installation that I did need some extra tweaking to work. There's an Ubuntu build for Firefox.
echo -e "\ndeb http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/ubuntuzilla/mozilla/apt all main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com C1289A29
apt-get update
apt-get install firefox-mozilla-build
The issue next was that I was missing some libraries. You will need to get those libraries which were for audio and glib something. Just search for them in the packages and install them and it will all work.
