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.

I got following error and it hung fter the libegl message

$ GDK_BACKEND=wayland firefox-nightly

(firefox:30634): Gtk-WARNING **: 11:44:10.658: Theme parsing error: <data>:1:34: Expected ')' in color definition

(firefox:30634): Gtk-WARNING **: 11:44:10.658: Theme parsing error: <data>:1:77: Expected ')' in color definition Attempting load of libEGL.so ^C

but when started normally with xwayland and closing after and tried again it worked. whatever Firefox wayland works :)

For some reason the policies.json is not working anymore for me with the package. Anyone else have this issue?

if anyone notices any "strange" behavior, bear in mind that upstream firefox switched from gcc to clang like a week ago. (the firefox in archlinux's repo already used clang, however as this is taken from mozilla's site it was using gcc). Just a PSA.

Like most desktop files, the desktop file should just call firefox-nightly and not specify the full path to allow for alternate scripts.

No, they are disabled on purpose. If you want to update, just build the package again and install it, that is the way it works.

I get "Updates disabled by your system administrator". Please enable auto update.

@Lindhe Exactly what @di72nn said.

di72nn commented on 2018-08-16 18:33 (UTC)

@Lindhe I may be wrong, but it seems that pacaur's --devel option is what you're looking for.

Lindhe commented on 2018-08-16 17:22 (UTC)

I just realized that this package automatically pulls the latest version from Mozilla, even if the version number of the packet is not changed. Would it be possible to have some automated build process to update that, because right now my nightly will not be found by pacaur as a program that can be updated...

Archange commented on 2018-08-16 15:37 (UTC)

@SamWhited Can you confirm this is happening even with the policies.json in place?
