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.

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.

@KingYes Some pacman helpers like yaourt store the firefox-[ver#][alpha#].en-US.linux-.tar.bz2, don't recognize that it's a daily changing file since its name stays the same, thus won't redownload it for the length of that release and fail the check. You'll have to delete the file manually.

The PKGBUILD get the checksum for the sources from the mozilla website (the file firefox-36.0a1.en-US.linux-x86_64.txt contains the checksums). If the checksum is bad, your download is corrupted or something is wrong on the mozilla server (maybe just a synchronization problem). Currently, it's working.

Just rebuild your package to get the new version. New version numbers are every 6 weeks. It is the only time the PKGBUILD needs change.

A nightly version shouldn't be updated more often?

Please add: provides=("firefox=$_version")

@lockheed The culprit appears to be TabMixPlus (0.4.1.3.1 and 0.4.1.4pre.140414a1). Tested with new profile, FF worked properly until I installed either version.

With the latest versions, I started having issues, of which the most serious is this: browser view is not being refreshed after closing a tab, thus the old dismissed tab content is still visible instead of the last tab view.

@Sality : Package is up-to-date, there is no new version.
