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.

Sorry my bad. And I prefer to do as the repo package, link to real binary rather than to the simlink.

Desktop file needs to be updated. There's no /opt/firefox-nightly/firefox-nightly but /opt/firefox-nightly/firefox. Or even better, use /usr/bin/firefox-nightly.

Well more actions = New Tab which is useless, they are actually less MIME types but a bit different ones.

I prefer to keep in sync with the repo .desktop files.

In https://blog.nightly.mozilla.org/2018/01/22/335/ there is a .desktop file with more actions, new keywords (in French) and more MIME types. I edited Italian .desktop file on AUR package of firefox-nightly-it and added French, Italian and Esperanto localization of keywords and profile manager. Keep it in mind if you want to adapt .desktop file to this version ;)

I have found. pacman -Qo /usr/bin/firefox-nightly /usr/bin/firefox-nightly is owned by firefox-always-nightly 59.0a1.-1 I had completely forgotten that I had installed firefox-always-nightly and not firefox-nightly. Sorry for my carelessness and thank you for you help.

Archange commented on 2017-12-24 18:36 (UTC)

Then try to see which package owns firefox-nightly using pacman -Qo /usr/bin/firefox-nightly. Maybe you have installed the french version?

micman commented on 2017-12-23 18:21 (UTC)

whereis firefox-nightly

firefox-nightly: /usr/bin/firefox-nightly

pacman -Rns firefox-nightly

error: target not found: firefox-nightly ???

Archange commented on 2017-12-21 20:12 (UTC)

@micman: Hum? Just do pacman -Rns firefox-nightly as for any other package.

micman commented on 2017-12-21 17:11 (UTC)

Hi! I don't know if it's the good place to post my message, but mine is a small question and I have already done a lot of fruitless researches. How can I uninstall firefox-nightly? I have installed firefox-developper-edition and, until proven otherwise, the former no longer serves me.

@ArchangeGabriel it appears he is having the same issue I am

==> Verifying source file signatures with gpg... 20171217-firefox-59.0a1.en-US.linux-x86_64.tar.bz2 ... FAILED (bad signature from public key BBBEBDBB24C6F355)

==> ERROR: One or more PGP signatures could not be verified!

as far as I can tell I have the Mozilla keys installed and they are up to date, haven't been having issues up until now with this package
