IDK if it's just me but downloading 107.0rc2 from https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/candidates/107.0-candidates/build2/linux-x86_64/en-US/firefox-107.0.tar.bz2 is throwing error 404.

@MarsSeed

Firefox Beta makes changes to user's default profile and those changes might be incompatible with the older Firefox.

By default, Firefox Beta uses its own profile. I tried to run both in a clean home (with HOME=/tmp/ffhome firefox-beta). Firefox stable (from Arch repository) used the profile "firefox-release" and Firefox beta (from this PKGBUILD) used the profile "firefox-beta".

Are you sure that you never selected the same profile for stable and beta using "firefox-beta -p" ?

Please add conflicts=firefox.

Please kindly add a post-install and preferably a post-remove warning about this fact.

@symen: might be my computer then having the wrong deps for stuff Virtualbox and some other stuff does not work too, well free to versionbump if it works for the most people

@bittin I just tried installing and running 97.0b5-1 from your commit (c1daa9fe5ca3) and I did not notice any issue, even in a clean chroot.

I tried it with X11 (not Wayland).

Downgraded to Beta 4 as Xulrunner dependencies broke with Beta 5, Would be happy if someone else better in Xul then me took a look when you have time
