Sorry, copy and paste error. Should be OK now.

patch: **** Can't open patch file ../0003-Use-wasm32-wasip1-target.patch :   No such file or directory
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
Aborting...

I see this file in along with all of the other patches but it cannot be found by PKGBUILD

@konvix, thanks so much! I was able to get it to build using those patches.

I have successfully built 140.9.0esr (with system libs) using clang-21 and rust 1.93, but of course it would be better to use the newest toolchain and compilers.

@konvix, thank you, I'm going to try those.

For reference, these patches should help to produce running build with clang/llvm v22 toolchain:

https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/commit/?h=konform-browser&id=2e73e1b28fd11ae4cece6b165513ced076bd2fb5

https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/commit/?h=konform-browser&id=be948b6ebd4faadd2845518a6b870cb7f4e33005

Tested for konform-browser which is based on firefox-esr 140.9.0. The patches should apply cleanly for vanilla firefox-esr too.

It is likely that significantly smaller resolving patch is viable but went for minimizing conflicts and retaining consistency with upstream changes.

Have you tried downgrading rust to v1.93.x?

At which point of compilation does the error come up? I didn't see that error message, but the build failed nevertheless during first stage linking phase...

dudemanguy commented on 2026-03-24 16:38 (UTC)

I can reproduce that and have the appropriate patches locally. Unfortunately, I'm at a loss at how to correct the nss_prelude::SECItemType error. The linked bugzilla was closed as incomplete so as far as I know this was never resolved. Any pointers would be appreciated. 140.9.0 (which is now out) makes no difference here.

No longer builds after upgrading system packages to latest.

First it will need this patch: https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/0003-Use-wasm32-wasip1-target.patch?h=firefox-nightly&id=7b3855dca76de4136425ff48c3b646195d52b4f1

As well as: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/firefox/-/blob/b210375c92e767950ec8ec8bdceda555e969ee21/0002-Patch-glsl-optimizer-to-build-with-glibc-2.43.patch

However even then, failing to compile with:

 8:58.78 error[E0432]: unresolved import `nss_prelude::SECItemType`
 8:58.78   --> /home/user/pkg/firefox-esr/src/firefox-140.8.0/third_party/rust/nss-gk-api/src/lib.rs:52:46

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1982221 looks relevant but unclear what the fix was.

A temporary workaround is to keep building with the v21 versions of clang lld 'llvm*' 'wasi-*'.

/usr/lib/firefox-esr/defaults/pref/channel-prefs.js has pref("app.update.channel", "release"); but should be "esr", no?

I just noticed, this branch doesn't come with the (hidden) default extensions like form-autofill, picture-in-picture? They should be in /usr/lib/firefox-esr/browser/features/ and yay -Ql (lists files of package) shows no .xpi either.
