ffmpeg4.4 could be a new required package, since Arch upgraded ffmpeg from 7 to 8 and Firefox seems unable to use it. Perhaps it would be a good idea to add it, since without it Firefox cannot play some video formats (like everything on twitch for example). Official Arch Firefox package also switched from requiring ffmpeg to ffmpeg4.4.

Must be a mistake. Nothing about it is a script or a binary.

I cloned this package's repo then...

$ ll .SRCINFO

-rwxr-x--- 1 me me 1194 Aug 7 00:01 .SRCINFO*

Any reason why .SRCINFO is an executable file?

Last firefox-esr and last firefox are same version, thats's why its' confusing. Firefox pages communication about versions are very bad. The best way to understand what happens about firefox versions is here:
https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/

@maderios what do you mean by "not Firefox ESR"? What do you think it is then?

firefox-140.1.0esr.tar.xz fails the validity check on the latest update.

@herbarium I added the policies.json to disable automatic updates.

herbarium commented on 2025-03-17 16:57 (UTC)

Unlike normal build of Firefox from repositories of Linux distributions, this one comes with a built-in updater, which can only be disabled with policies.json. Since Firefox doesn't have root write access, I'm assuming that it can't update itself, but IMO it's better to disable it anyway, like they did in Gentoo:

{
  "policies": {
    "DisableAppUpdate": true
  }
}

Can you please put this file into /opt/firefox-esr/distribution/? Thanks in advance.
