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-nightly package for Arch Linux.

SigLevel = Optional

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.

@mnussbaum: Have you actually tried to install this package? The PKGBUILD automatically download the latest tarball in the current branch.

Does not install the latest nightly, but you can increase the version and package by editing manually and bump to 66.a01

I got following error and it hung fter the libegl message

$ GDK_BACKEND=wayland firefox-nightly

(firefox:30634): Gtk-WARNING **: 11:44:10.658: Theme parsing error: <data>:1:34: Expected ')' in color definition

(firefox:30634): Gtk-WARNING **: 11:44:10.658: Theme parsing error: <data>:1:77: Expected ')' in color definition Attempting load of libEGL.so ^C

but when started normally with xwayland and closing after and tried again it worked. whatever Firefox wayland works :)

For some reason the policies.json is not working anymore for me with the package. Anyone else have this issue?

churro commented on 2018-09-21 02:18 (UTC)

if anyone notices any "strange" behavior, bear in mind that upstream firefox switched from gcc to clang like a week ago. (the firefox in archlinux's repo already used clang, however as this is taken from mozilla's site it was using gcc). Just a PSA.

Like most desktop files, the desktop file should just call firefox-nightly and not specify the full path to allow for alternate scripts.

No, they are disabled on purpose. If you want to update, just build the package again and install it, that is the way it works.

doaxan commented on 2018-09-17 11:29 (UTC)

I get "Updates disabled by your system administrator". Please enable auto update.

@Lindhe Exactly what @di72nn said.
