(1) What is this all about?
Simply my little idea in promoting the use of Firefox ^^ and also to help in some Netscape users from a easier migration to Firefox ^^
Basically, i am rebuilding installers for easy one process installation of an iE7-look and netscape-look Firefox browser (customized with Security in-mind). The simple process involved unpacking the Original Official Firefox installer, adding in Theme + Extensions, customizing the Settings, and finally re-building back the Installer.

(2) What are the core components in your Firefox re-Build installers?
* Original Official Mozilla Firefox 2 installer
* Theme from Official Firefox Add-ons (myFireFox)
* Extensions from Official Firefox Add-ons (NoScript . Fasterfox . Adblock Plus . Personal Menu)

(3a) What are the these Extensions for and their Settings in the ie7-Themed?

NoScript (it allows JavaScript, Java and other executable content to run only from trusted domains of your choice) - Preset @ Allowed scripts Globally. Please see FAQ (8) to turn on Whitelisting method for better security-enhancement.
Adblock Plus (it allows you to remove ads/banners manually OR thru Subscription filters) - Preset to manually subscribe to Filter Subscriptions or add in your own Filter rule.
Personal Menu (it allows the customizing of the Menu Bar) - Preset to hide the default Menus Toobar to make it looks like iE7.
Fasterfox (it allows you to tweak the performance of Firefox) - Preset @ "Turbo Charged" option.
myFireFox & Vista-aero Modifier (it allows you to customize myFirefox theme)

(3b) What are the these Extensions for and their Settings in the Netscape-Themed?

NoScript (it allows JavaScript, Java and other executable content to run only from trusted domains of your choice) - Preset @ Allowed scripts Globally. Please see FAQ (8) to turn on Whitelisting method for better security-enhancement.
Adblock Plus (it allows you to remove ads/banners manually OR thru Subscription filters) - Preset to manually subscribe to Filter Subscriptions or add in your own Filter rule.
Fasterfox (it allows you to tweak the performance of Firefox) - Preset @ "Turbo Charged" option.

(4a) What are the notable customized presettings in Options?

Downloads - Will always prompt you where to save files.
Tab - Always show tab bar. New pages open in new tab.
Security -
- Passwords :: Disabled Remembering passwords for sites and Use a Master password.
- Warning Messages :: Will warn when submitting information that's not encrypted and While viewing encrypted pages that contains unencrypted info.
Privacy -

History :: Disabled remember Form fill data entering.
Cookies :: Allow cookies from originating server only.
Private Data :: Will always silently clear ALL private data when Firefox is closed.

(4b) Why are some settings at certain website thru cookies setting are not retained?
As thru some feedbacks, most people find it a hassle to always have to manually clear Cache, Cookies, private information retained, etc etc ... As such, this is taken into consideration of this Installer -> "customized with Security in-mind", therefore clearing of Privacy Information is set by default whenever you close the browser, with no intervention required.

(4c) W hat if I prefer to retain my Cookies or History without being cleared? Can i do that?
Yes of course. You can still go into Options to make any changes to any settings as you preferred. For those who prefer to retain Cookies:
Click on the ">>" to dropdown the Tools menu. Click on "Options".

Select the "Privacy" tab, and click on "Settings..."

Just UN-tick the Cookies checkbox or any that you do not wish to be cleared when browser closes. Click "OK" to save any settings.

(5) What about Updates? Do i have to visit here to get Updates?
No. Once installed, all you need to do is perform regular update on Themes/Extensions as well as the Browser itself (if there is any), via your installed Firefox.

(6) Can i add/remove Themes/Extensions?
Yes. Once you are familiar enough wth Firefox, you will realise you can customize it to your preferences. Add more extensions or themes as you prefer.

(7) Why is the re-Build installer much larger in size?
Simply because the re-Build installer contains the additional preloaded Theme and Extensions to it.

(8) How can i make Firefox more secure when visiting websites that run scripts?
This build is preloaded with the NoScript extension, which you can set it to Whitelisting method:

Click once on the NoScript icon (at bottom Status Bar) and click on "Forbid scripts Globally (advised)" to toggle the setting.

From then on, to allow scripts running on a particular website, you have to manually click on the "S-like" icon, and click on the domain name to allow (need only once for every domain) the trust for web scripts execution.

A hassle but really Safer Recommendation! Visit their homepage for more info.

(9) How to use the Adblock Plus extension to block out Ads that you do not wish to display?
Click once on the "ABP" icon (at bottom Status Bar)

Click on "Filters" -> "Add filter subcription"

Click on "View all subscriptions"

Then add any of the filter subscription from the list of your choice.

Visit their homepage for more info.

(10) How can i install this reBuild installer if my system already has a previous installation of Firefox?
First, delete your mozilla profile folder:

Right-click on My Computer, and click on "Explore"
Select Tools -> Folder Options -> click on "View" tab -> Select "Show hidden files and folders" -> click on "OK"
Go to "Documents and Settings" -> your login name folder -> Application Data
Delete the entire "Mozilla" folder and close the Windows Explorer.

Second, uninstall (if it still resides) the previous Mozilla Firefox installation. Then you can proceed to install the reBuild installer.

(11) Is the reBuild installer safe to download and use?
The reBuild installer contains the Original Firefox installer from Mozilla Firefox site; theme and extensions are from the Mozilla add-ons site. The reBuild installer is scanned using ClamWin to ensure virus-free, and again scanned by MediaFire's antivirus upon being uploaded. A md5sum is also generated along to ensure the file is untampered.

(12) The Menus Toolbar is not available! How can i see the Menus Toolbar?
As this theme is based to look similar to ie7, as such the menus toolbar is hidden. To unhide it, right-click any area on the toolbar, click on "Menus Toolbar", and the Menus Toolbar will be displayed.

(13) I'm now familiar with Firefox, and i wish to revert back the original default Firefox's theme and settings, how can i do that?
Great to hear that! ^^ First of all, you can definitely continue using this reBuild. All you have to do now is to customize back the Original Settings and Theme. Here's how:
