You should check if your crash reports have any related bugzilla links.
If there's no bug already, you can use mozregression to find which commit/changeset introduced the bug and then file as new bug as "regressed by" the bug of the culprit commit. That usually gets it handled quickly, especially crashers.
@heftig I gave it a trial, but it doesn't seem to work neither. The same scenario, clicking OK after master password setup causes an immediate crash.
@DuKol There's been some trouble with the JS engine recently; maybe disabling javascript.options.use_js_microtask_queue will help; that feature was turned on on Nov 14.
So, it seems that password manager is broken. Whenever I try to define master password, it crashes. Old passwords were deleted. Insertion of passwords work, until a master password is defined. After confirming password, the Enter key causes crash.
built with the new patch, can not right click on download files to open the menu to choose.
Is it only me that yesterday's and today' built (Nov 11 and 12) crash on every page with many scripts being downloaded, especially for login to private pages, e.g. https://www.vodafone.cz/muj/ ? On the other hand, simple pages, e.g. https://slovnik.seznam.cz/ work fine. Firefox in main stream of arch linux works fine. Could it be issue of various add-ons? I use NoScript and uBlockOrigin, plus some dictionaries. I'm sorry I wasn't able to test it because I left to another computer, maybe tomorrow.
Two patches I needed to make to have 144.0a1+20250909.1+h4a1256a814d3 buildable on gcc (GCC) 15.2.1 20250813

@teJECSke
Should be fixed with wasi-libc++ 19.1.6-2.
After upgrade:
ERROR: Cannot find wasi headers or problem with the wasm compiler. Please fix the problem. Or build with --without-wasm-sandboxed-libraries.

Instead of building this yourself, please use the repository from https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=117157.
Not only do you skip the very time-consuming builds, but the published package also has debug symbols at Mozilla's crash reports service, which helps tremendously with finding or filing bugs for any crashes you get.
I consider this the canonical
firefox-nightlypackage for Arch Linux.Alternatively, download Firefox Nightly straight from Mozilla, extract it to a writable place (e.g.
~/.local/firefox-nightly) and let it update itself using the integrated updater.
