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.

@Archange -- gpg --keyserver hkps://keys.openpgp.org --recv-keys EBE41E90F6F12F6D I guess. Worked for me assuming that's the correct procedure and security is ok.

You need to delete the old key and import the updated Mozilla public key again. For me, simply updating the key did not help.

Getting the error:

20210602-firefox-91.0a1.en-US.linux-x86_64.tar.bz2 ... FAILED (unknown public key EBE41E90F6F12F6D)

None of the solutions posted in the comments worked.

Archange commented on 2021-05-28 19:19 (UTC)

Regarding the current key issue, this is expected. As you can see in https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2019/06/13/updated-firefox-gpg-key/, the current key was set to expire on 2021-05-29 UTC, so they rotated to a new key a bit before as every two years. But… the new subkey is not available currently on most keyservers I have tried, so for now the only way to retrieve it I have found is this: gpg --keyserver hkps://keys.openpgp.org --recv-keys 14F26682D0916CDD81E37B6D61B7B526D98F0353. After that you should be able to upgrade without troubles.

I am getting ==> Verifying source file signatures with gpg... 20210528-firefox-90.0a1.en-US.linux-x86_64.tar.bz2 ... FAILED (unknown public key EBE41E90F6F12F6D)

I have read the pinned comments and did the first comment. I still receive the error. Happened yesterday too (5-27-2021) and is happening still today.

I saw someone made a similar tool a while back but the link seems dead: Here's a script for detecting when a new nightly build is available.

https://gist.github.com/ToadKing/006dd0eaa5f2cdc26b88bfb2d08b0e15

It returns a 0 exit code when an update is available and a non-zero one if you're already on the latest version or the script fails somewhere. It can be used like this:

firefox-nightly-needs-update.sh && yay -S firefox-nightly

Just replace yay with your favorite AUR helper/makepkg/etc. It can't detect major version changes but the PKGBUILD needs updating for those anyway.

There is any procedure I should do to debug firefox-nightly with this aur package?

I just installed aur/xulrunner, but I would like to know if there is any flags that should be enabled from aur/firefox-nightly PKGBUILD to enable debug symbols, so it can be traced with gdm.

I would like to produce some stack trace when needed to report Firefox bugs.

@Akrai here is the Mozilla bug report: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1711266

I will add more details there soon

Anyway, I did opened a KDE bug also, and they said it was fixed on git already and the fix will be available on KDE Plasma 5.22.0: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=437115

I'm building KDE Plasma from git right now to test it and see if the crash is solved.

Thanks hsantanna! Please open a bug report on mozilla's bugtracker
