@akayashi_mika What about just straight-up doing rm -rf ~/.cache/
? iirc yay -Sc
isn't great at removing the AUR yay cache in ~/.cache/
..
@ToadKing I already tried doing that yay -Sc. Still no progress. Thanks tho
@akayashi_mika Try doing a cleanBuild on it, or making sure the cache folder for it in yay is deleted.
When I try to update firefox-nigthly with yay -syu, I get this error

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.
