That seems like it's the auto-update link, so that current builds can't update, until the new one has been tested.

... and in fact (returning to an old comment of mine :-), currently the latest_beta symlink points to b6, and not to the currently, *real* latest beta ...

New build, apparently.

Latest PKGBUILD has an incorrect md5sum for the x86_64 tar, should be 61d9d14e76a3cdd8fd228fb16116e2c4 Cheers

For those curious about the gst1.0 stuff, the release 'firefox' Arch package (37.0.*) does have it enabled. From the about:buildconfig... --enable-application=browser --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib --enable-official-branding --with-system-nspr --with-system-nss --with-system-jpeg --with-system-zlib --with-system-bz2 --with-system-png --with-system-libevent --with-system-libvpx --with-system-icu --enable-system-hunspell --enable-system-sqlite --enable-system-ffi --enable-system-pixman --enable-startup-notification --enable-pulseaudio --enable-gstreamer=1.0 [...] And its optional packages reflect that; hopefully the beta linux package from Mozilla will starting using it soon too. This did prompt me to learn how to build it from source though for testing, using gst1.0. :)

The gstreamer 1.0 optional dependencies are wrong. Official mozilla builds are still with gstreamer 0.10.

Apparently, Firefox will soon be switching all Google users to Yahoo. The 34.0.5 candidate is supposedly testing this for all en-US users. - http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=23&p=13896935 - http://andreasgal.com/2014/11/19/yahoo-and-mozilla-form-strategic-partnership/

That too (though I doubt it'll ever "go away").

@Det: don't use the latest-beta symlink, it has happened in the past that it has not been relinked on a new beta. The real, named directory will always be there, the symlink may be updated or not (or even go away) ...
