[yocto] bitbake firefox using meta-browser layer

[Pandey, Kamal]

I was trying to compile the Firefox browser for a custom embedded device. But it is falling giving the following error:

cd /home/iepl/work/yocto_build/poky/build/tmp/work/aarch64-pdm3-linux/firefox/52.9.0esr-r0/firefox-52.9.0esr/firefox-build-dir

Can anybody provide me a solution or at least a  hint, so that I can move forward.
