A little update after experimenting with those URLs a bit more: tl;dr: Please change the source URL to https://addons.cdn.mozilla.net/user-media/addons/819184/gesturefy-${pkgver}-an+fx-linux.xpi The URLs in my previous comment are actually all redirects to the file hosted at addons.cdn.mozilla.net. The redirect location is the same regardless of the file name you specify: https://addons.cdn.mozilla.net/user-media/addons/819184/gesturefy-1.1.14-an+fx-linux.xpi?filehash=sha256%3A23f095d21e1706d18d659a3adca80c37deca10d1b9aa3b209ee2b8eb7c91459f This URL is much nicer than those redirects. First, addons.cdn.mozilla.net returns HTTP 404 if you use the wrong name so it's easier to notice if the version is wrong. Second, it does not have the /file/<id>/ part which changes with every version. Instead if has /addon/<id>/ which stays the same for a given addon. The filehash= part is pretty useless and I think should be omitted. You don't even get an error if the hash is wrong here. And sha256sums in PKGBUILD takes care of validating the checksum anyway. Finally, it turns out that non-linux versions do exist. The following two URLs both work and return different files: https://addons.cdn.mozilla.net/user-media/addons/819184/gesturefy-1.1.14-an+fx-linux.xpi https://addons.cdn.mozilla.net/user-media/addons/819184/gesturefy-1.1.14-an+fx-windows.xpi

There's a small bug in the PKGBUILD. pkgver is set to 1.1.4 but it installs version 1.1.14. Also, maybe you already know this but I'll mention it just in case because it caught me by surprise: addons.mozilla.org only cares about the /file/<id>/ part of the URL and completely ignores the filename that follows it. So all of the following URLs download the exact same file: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/file/770694/firefox-gesturefy-1.1.14-an+fx-linux.xpi https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/file/770694/firefox-gesturefy-1.1.4-an+fx-linux.xpi https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/file/770694/photoshop-3000-windows.rar For reference, the URL for 1.1.14 on the addon page (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/gesturefy/versions/) is: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/file/770694/gesturefy-1.1.14-an+fx-linux.xpi?src=version-history I wonder what the point of the -an+fx-linux suffix is because as far as I can tell there's no way to download a non-linux version this way (can addons even have different versions for different systems?).
