Comment (by zenitur):

 My build way is hard.

 1). Try to compile Firefox:
 a). Install deps.

 sudo yum-builddep firefox

 b). Install non-repository deps:

 tar xf Python-2.7.8.tgz
 cd Python-2.7.8
 ./configure --prefix=/home/zenitur/python --exec-
 prefix=/home/zenitur/python
 make
 make install
 cd ..

 tar xf yasm-1.2.0.tar.gz
 cd yasm-1.2.0
 ./configure --prefix/home/zenitur/yasm --exec-prefix=/home/zentur/yasm
 make
 make install
 cd ..

 c). Enable GCC 4.8.2 from
 http://linux.web.cern.ch/linux/devtoolset/#install

 scl enable devtoolset-2 bash
 gcc --version
 export PATH=/home/zenitur/python/bin:/home/zenitur/yasm/bin:$PATH

 d). Build Firefox

 tar xf firefox-45.2esr-source.tar.xz
 cd firefox-45.2.0esr
 cp ../mozconfig .mozconfig
 cp ../mozilla-api-key .
 cp ~/mozilla-patches/* .
 ./apply.sh
 make -f client.mk build
 cd objdir/dist
 cp -R -L -p bin ~/firefox-45.2esr

 2). Try to build Tor Browser

 a). Compare .mozconfig files

 b). Download GIT:

 git clone https://git.torproject.org/tor-browser.git

 c). Switch to the branch:

 cd tor-browser
 git checkout 6803b2f08165a02cac4621db10fc2e1d99b7b435

 d). Remove GIT hidden files and make backup

 find . -name .git -print0 | xargs -0 rm -rf
 cd ..
 tar cf tor-browser-45.2.tar tor-browser
 xz tor-browser-45.2.tar

 e). Build

 cd tor-browser
 cp ../mozconfig .mozconfig
 cp ~/mozilla-patches/* .
 ./apply.sh
 make -f client.mk configure
 make -j3 -f client.mk build
