I made a source for armv7h. Could you add it? https://paulsajna.com/firefox/firefox-57.0b12.tar.bz2

Unfortunately the window class fix in ea7a85b8afd seems to break xdg-open, which doesn't appear to be quote aware. If you run, for example: xdg-open somefile.html strace output shows: execve("/opt/firefox-beta/firefox", ["/opt/firefox-beta/firefox", "--class", "\"Firefox", "Beta\"", "somefile.html"], 0x14ddff0 /* 52 vars */) = 0 so Firefox tries to open a file called 'Beta"' in addition to the requested file. I tried a few other escaping methods but couldn't find one that xdg-open recognised. Switching to rccavalcanti's second suggestion of using Exec=/usr/bin/firefox-beta %u works correctly, though. (Thanks for all your work packaging this!)

Hello there, Using the launcher in KDE Plasma, the window class is set to "Firefox", instead of "Firefox Beta". Thus, it gets wrongly associated to Firefox in the task manager. The StartWMClass line isn't taking care of it, and as far as I'm concerned, can be removed. The issue can be fixed adding the --class argument to Exec, as in: Exec=/opt/firefox-beta/firefox --class "Firefox Beta" %u Exec=/opt/firefox-beta/firefox --class "Firefox Beta" --new-window %u Exec=/opt/firefox-beta/firefox --class "Firefox Beta" --private-window %u Or directly pointing to your wrapper: Exec=firefox-beta %u Exec=firefox-beta --new-window %u Exec=firefox-beta --private-window %u Edit: minor typo.

@DeathHacker Again that's expected, you can't open the same profile simultaneously. If you want multiple instances running you must use a different profile for each of them. @btd1337 Agreed, although another approach could be to replace the binary with a launch wrapper script that add the --class argument if not specified by the user. This is uglier than modifying the desktop script, but it has the advantage of also working when running firefox from the terminal (which is why I did it this way in my package).

Maintainer, Please, change this lines in the .desktop file to fix duplicate icon error. [Desktop Entry] Exec=/opt/firefox-beta/firefox --class="firefox-beta" %u StartupWMClass=firefox-beta [Desktop Action new-window] Exec=/opt/firefox-beta/firefox --new-window --class="firefox-beta" %u [Desktop Action new-private-window] Exec=/opt/firefox-beta/firefox --private-window --class="firefox-beta" %u

Not just the .desktop, that's the install location.

@symen You're right; I ran 'firefox-beta-bin --new-instance' and it opened Firefox Beta However, when I tried the same while having firefox open, it complained that Firefox was already running and that it wasn't responding. Another thing I noticed: the desktop file points to /opt/firefox-beta/firefox It should point to /opt/firefox-beta-bin/firefox
