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-nightly package for Arch Linux.

SigLevel = Optional

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.

@leo_sk Multiple packages that provide the same package/pseudo-package can be installed side by side if none conflicts with the other indicated with "conflicts". Source: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PKGBUILD#provides

@brainplot: would it then conflict with package firefox?

brainplot commented on 2019-10-04 05:42 (UTC)

I don't know if this is intentional but it could be that this package is missing provides=('firefox'). I'm testing out nightly and I wanted to install firefox-sync but that's also requiring me to install firefox, which shouldn't.

I had to use "gpg --keyserver gpg.mozilla.org --recv-key 0xF1A6668FBB7D572E"

Fix for "unknown public key": gpg --keyserver gpg.mozilla.org --refresh-keys

Actually a new unknown key... FAILED (unknown public key F1A6668FBB7D572E) on 20190613-firefox-69.0a1.en-US.linux-x86_64.tar.bz2

Known and intentional. pacaur is (or at least was) an AUR helper that knew how to handle this, just like any other -git or VCS package for instance.

@ArchangeGabriel:I asked because because pamac (using yaourt backend) was showing the latest version to be 69.0a1.20190521-1 for almost a week without any update. However on manually installing it again today, nightly updated to 69.0a1.20190602-1. Now my installed version is 69.0a1.20190602-1 but pamac still shows the latest version is 69.0a1.20190521-1 and that i am using outdated version. On updating however, I still get the 2nd June's build. Is this behaviour known and intentional, or is it a bug specific to me?
