@toniwiki I'm glad that your strip issue is ok now.
Unfortunately I can confirm your issue. Happened to me in the past and never can figure out exactly why... Sometimes happens in gmail.com, others in sites like elmundo.es, elpais.com or other sites with videos or a heavy load. In v60 this seems gone.
@tandrade my package was always in conflict with Firefox in [extra]. Maybe you used another binary package that is installed in /opt...
Personally, I use Firefox ESR at work, and if I need something that is in latest branch, I have my own binary packages that are in /opt doesn't create anything in /usr.
The conflict is because, by default, I use the same PKGBUILD instructions and the same config paths. So ESR can't be used at the same time with Arch's Firefox.
I can upload my PKGBUILDs of those "Firefox in /opt" if somebody wants.. Usually I launch them in a temporary firejail to test "my things". It's a good trick IMHO.
Ignore my previous comment!
It seems that firefox-esr has always been incompatible with firefox.
Maybe my memory is tricking me.
I'm almost sure I have two versions of firefox on my other machine, but I would have to check which versions are those.
Why is this conflicting with firefox?
I have on another computer both firefox and an old firefox-esr on version 52, both installed and working properly. The only think I can't do is open both of them at the same time.
I had enabled strip in my /etc/makepkg.conf like yours.
Thanks @figue for your package, i will use it but i would like to know why my system creates a package so large too.
Did you disable strip in makepkg.conf?
% grep strip /etc/makepkg.conf
# Default: OPTIONS=(!strip docs libtool staticlibs emptydirs !zipman !purge !debug)
#-- strip: Strip symbols from binaries/libraries
OPTIONS=(strip docs !libtool !staticlibs emptydirs zipman purge !debug)

You can use my own package if you want:
http://figue.lnx.im/firefox-esr52-52.8.0-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
Minor differences found in file sizes except for file:
(toniwiki) > 1572071816 usr/lib/firefox-devel-52.8.0/sdk/lib/libxul.so
(figue) < 83664288 usr/lib/firefox-devel-52.8.0/sdk/lib/libxul.so
This is my firefox-esr (v52):
➜ ~ LC_ALL=C pacman -Qi firefox-esr52 | grep Size
