By far the easiest build method is using the git method described in the wiki.
As far as my comment being patronizing, I apologize, didn't mean that at all.
Simply put we are a group of volunteers that try to make things clear, if
something is unclear for a user and they feel like it can be corrected, they
can and should correct it. Getting on the chat and asking specific questions
can get you live feedback often which is helpful for new users.

On my side, I can say that the build process is incredibly straight forward
(again just for me) so I wouldn't be helpful changing it as I think the current
directions are really good. Most everything is in the core tarball but there
area  few things that are kept outside of the core, as for why, no clue I'm
sure someone else can tell you. You're fine with just the core, dictionaries
are for the dictionary packages (which it's up to you if you want), the other
package I really don't know what it's for and I don't have it installed.

For each module, the documentation isn't the greatest as to what it would add.
For mozilla it adds the ability to import address book from thunderbird and a
couple other minor features. My understanding is that we're trying to purge
mozilla completely and add the features in other modules.

Because we're a team of volunteers, a lot of things is a matter of persistence
of the contributor. I had a relatively hard time at the beginning but
thankfully, most users, and a few in particular, have done a lot to help me
through the baby steps at the beginning.
