@bittin, yes the extraction with bsdtar (and install) worked without any problem. Probably bsdtar uses the mime type or header to check the compression algorithm.

@aragon123: will look into it Did the install work atleast?

The filename for the RC build is firefox-$pkgver.tar.bz2 (L35), I guess it should be changed to firefox-$pkgver.tar.xz as well.

I just was confused as I saw the build step and saw firefox-135.0rc1.tar.bz2 :-) Thank you for maintaining.

I moved policies.json to the "distribution" folder and it seems to work better! Now the policy appears in about:policies. I also switched to the policy DisableAppUpdate because it seems more adequate than AppAutoUpdate.

BTW I also added alsa-lib as dependency.

Thanks @5kg, @Flysoft and @dnim! And sorry for the late response. I update the PKGBUILD when I see an update, but I have switched back to Firefox Stable as my main browser a while ago.

The policies.json doesn't seem to work. According to the docs:

  1. Create a file called policies.json with your policies.

  2. Place this file in firefox/distribution where "firefox" is the installation directory for Firefox. (This will vary per distribution).

The policy file should be in distribution folder.

Here's how I managed to get it work:

mkdir /opt/firefox-beta/distribution
ln -s /opt/firefox-beta/policies/policies.json /opt/firefox-beta/distribution/policies.json
