Well, even if we do understand this numbering, one point is worrying me:
"It is recommended that all instances of the application that are running on the system including those being used by other users are closed before going any further. Important: though this should never cause the update to fail there might be cases where it will and it can definitely break a running instance of the application."
You cannot ask the user to close all firefox instances before running the update. And crashing its running instance is bad as well...

So we'd need to find out not only the date of the latest trunk release but that external number part too, which separates different releases for the same date (the scheme goes: [year]-[month]-[date]-[the-external-number]-mozilla-central eg. 2011-02-07-03-mozilla-central). Great.

You're right. They are available there:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/2011-02-07-03-mozilla-central/firefox-4.0b12pre.en-US.linux-x86_64.partial.20110206030345-20110207030345.mar
but it seems difficult to use them as we need to know the exact version we are updating from and to.
Det commented on 2011-02-07 15:46 (UTC)
Those are the complete ones - not the partial ones.
cgirard commented on 2011-02-07 10:01 (UTC)
I guess there : http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/
but it's as big as the bz2.
Det commented on 2011-02-07 08:41 (UTC)
Where then exactly are those partial .mars for linux?
xenom commented on 2011-02-03 18:10 (UTC)
Updated to 4.0b12pre.

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.
