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.

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.

They're disabled by the policies.json file, but if you want the frequent, auto updates, then you shouldn't use this package because it'll overwrite your changes when the next major version releases (unless you won't update it, but then it's not much different from installing it without AUR)

@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"

lnicola commented on 2019-06-14 07:47 (UTC)

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