I added the repo to pacman.conf and wanted to install the firefox using sudo pacman -S firefox-kde-opensuse . It gave me dependency errors:
warning: can't resolve "libicuuc.so=72-64", dependency from "firefox-kde-opensuse"
warning: can't resolve "libicui18n.so=72-64", dependency from "firefox-kde-opensuse"
warning: can't resolve "libvpx.so=7-64", dependency from "firefox-kde-opensuse"
I'm on Manjaro testing, so close to Arch (a few days away from Arch stable repo), so I don't think this is it. Just to be sure, I switched to unstable to get the same packages as Arch stable and the issue is still there.
I checked libicuuc.so versions and I have either too high (native system) or too low (snaps, flatpacks) version. Those in between are merely a symlinks. So does this mean, that this package simply requires older libraries than exist on Arch or Manjaro testing/unstable?
EDIT: I just realized, that in the repo we have a very old version 107. The newer one is here in AUR, but I can't pass the SUM check on firefox 117 source file... It looks like the PKGBUILD wasn't fully updated.

If you have issues with this package visit gitlab and read the readme first.
