Where did it install to?

No, simply set JS_CXXFLAGS and JSLIB to point to your new mozjs24 installation.
On my system, I install custom libs under ~/usr so this looks like:
make JS_CXXFLAGS=-I/home/adam/usr/include/mozjs-24 JSLIB="-L/home/adam/usr/lib -lmozjs-24"

You also have to have the custom library path (in my case /home/adam/usr/lib) on your LD_LIBRARY_PATH for this to work.

Alternatively, if you've installed under /usr/local (default I think):
make JS_CXXFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include/mozjs-24 JSLIB=-lmozjs-24

For debugging (assuming a debug build of mozjs already):
CFLAGS="-g -gdb" CXXFLAGS="-g -gdb" make <js_settings> STRIP=""

Where <js_settings> is the js set up required to make things compile.

Cheers,
Adam.
