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.

I wanted to build, tried a lot but gave up and just used the repo.

Trying to build nightly, but I receive on many places error: "STL code can only be used with -fno-exceptions". Is there any way out? Or should I just wait :-)

Moreover, how can I limit number of cores used for build? makepkg does not provide any option by itself. Should export MAKEFLAGS="-j 4" work? nice -19 makepkg works fine, but anyway... Just asking.

@maltejur Should be fixed; see the latest commit.

The window icon is missing for me on KDE Wayland (only noticeable when "Customize Toolbar > Titlebar" is enabled). From quick research this seems to be because of a mismatch between the window class (firefoxnightly) and the name of the desktop file (firefox-nightly.desktop). Setting MOZ_APP_REMOTINGNAME, and thus the name of the window class, to firefox-nightly in the mozconfig fixes the issue for me. Is there any reason MOZ_APP_REMOTINGNAME is currently set to firefoxnightly?

@xiota Thanks, it worked!

@DuKol Try setting LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=true.

Hello, I've tried to build today the image, but it ended with errors I cannot resolve:

Every time I try to install this package, with paru or by running makepkg I always get this error :

AssertionError: (b'data/config/external/icu/data', {b'-s/icudt70l.dat': None, b'-s/icudt64l.dat': None, b'-s/icudt69l.dat': None, b'-s/icudt66l.dat': None, b'-s/icudt60l.dat': None, b'-s/icudt63l.dat': None, b'-s/icudt59l.dat': None, b'-s/icudt72l.dat': None, b'-s/icudt56l.dat': None, b'-s/icudt71l.dat': None, b'-s/icudt65l.dat': None, b'-s/icudt67l.dat': None, b'-s/icudt58l.dat': None, b'-s/icudt73l.dat': None, b'-s/icudt62l.dat': None, b'-s/icudt68l.dat': None, b'-s/icudt61l.dat': None})

I've also try to simply clone the repo manually, and I got the same error.

I was wondering if other people have enconter the same error and if not, I may have to oen an issue with mercurial, I guess.
