if you have trouble and encounter:

firefox-81.0.tar.bz2 ... FAILED (unknown public key F1A6668FBB7D572E)
==> ERROR: One or more PGP signatures could not be verified!
then do
gpg --keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net:80 --recv-key 0x61B7B526D98F0353

I keep getting stuck here

The key seems to be different than the one you have pinned. Not sure if that means anything.

@CodingCellist: Currently it's not outdated (80.0a1), since neither the major or minor version has changed.
Is up to you to keep it updated (80.0a1.xxxx), like a -git package.
Any chance of an update to current nightly? We are ten days out of date now and stuck on 79, when 80 is available in nightly already.
(If anybody else needs the update urgently, downloading the snapshot and replacing 79.0a1 with 80.0a1 is sufficient for a working build).
Where this is the nightly package, and the nightly includes debug symbols, any chance you'd add:
options=(debug !strip)
@basedtho the file is included to prevent nightly from auto-updating. This gives it control over updating with package manager. If you wanted an auto updating version, you could have directly downloaded nightly from mozilla website
@raphi011, just edit the version to 79a1 in build file to get latest nightly version

Instead of building this yourself, please use the repository from https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=117157.
Not only do you skip the very time-consuming builds, but the published package also has debug symbols at Mozilla's crash reports service, which helps tremendously with finding or filing bugs for any crashes you get.
I consider this the canonical
firefox-nightlypackage for Arch Linux.Alternatively, download Firefox Nightly straight from Mozilla, extract it to a writable place (e.g.
~/.local/firefox-nightly) and let it update itself using the integrated updater.
