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.

The WM class for Nightly has changed; the StartupWMClass line in firefox-nightly.desktop needs to be changed to "StartupWMClass=firefox-nightly" in order for e.g. the correct icon to show up in Plank.

@Archange Looks like 100 just released. Not sure why it was marked out-of-date earlier today as it wasn't released this morning.

Just a short notice that support for ffmpeg 5.0 just landed in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1750760 Therefore, the dependency on ffmpeg4.4 can be switched back to ffmpeg as soon as the build releases

@bittin: Where did you see a 100 version? There is nothing on Mozilla server, today build is still 99.

Deleting cache (i deleted the whole .cache folder, just because of yes, cleaning the house time) fixed video decoding issues which i had even with ffmpeg4.4. May be related to this https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=274331

Can confirm on fardragon's comment - I had the message "You may need to install additional codecs" whenever I encountered any form of video in a website. paru -S extra/ffmpeg4.4 and a restart of Firefox fixed it

fardragon commented on 2022-02-18 09:53 (UTC)

I believe the package should now depend on extra/ffmpeg4.4 instead of ffmpeg (which is now on version 5.0). After updating my system video playback was broken until I installed ffmpeg4.4

The pinned comment from 2017 is outdated.

I had to run [as root ~]# pacman-key -r 0x61B7B526D98F0353

@Akrai: Good idea, done.

This PKGBUILD is auto-updating (you just need to build it again) as long as the major version number is correct. Please only flag out-of-date when a new major release is available.
