Anyone manage to get it to build? Lots of errors, assumably very far away from being usable.

They're mainly just warnings stemming from dependencies—it compiles just fine in Xcode 6.1.1 after running git submodule update --init and force-unwrapping a bunch of optionals.

Interestingly, it appears to do everything BUT display web pages at this point! Looks very preliminary.

Without entering the details (which I don't have anyway, I'm not involved in this version of Firefox), yeah, it's very preliminary.

They are probably trying to get the bookmark synchronization to work first.

Displaying web pages is easy with the build in UIWebView (or WKWebView) component

Yeah, this pull request fixes all of the actual errors that prevent building:
