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.

amesxww: So I did some researches. GTK2 is only needed for NPAPI plugins, which since https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1269807 means flash. And even then, I’m not sure how the new flash plugin plays here. Someone using flash and not relying on GTK2 for anything important in the system volunteering to try without GTK2? At the very least I’m moving the dep to optdep.

@amesxww: Source? Because at least on Arch it’s still here: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/firefox/.

gtk2 is no longer a requirement of firefox. It hasn't been for over a year on stable.

@Aetf: OK, I’ll change that. @amesxww: I think so. If you try running it without gtk2, tell us what it gives. ;) Also, CDN issues are resolved upstream. There should not be mismatch between tarball and sig anymore.

Is gtk2 still a requirement for firefox?

@ArchangeGabriel, the startup-notification seems to be optional. Since I didn't have that installed and everything works fine.

Archange commented on 2017-04-17 14:19 (UTC)

@Aetf: I’ve updated the PKGBUILD.

Archange commented on 2017-04-15 18:59 (UTC)

Note that you need additional dependency on startup-notification for that. Maybe could be optional though. We made this change to https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/firefox-nightly-fr recently.

Could the relevant StartupWMClass lines be added to the desktop file so we can get hires window icon in task manager? I saw the comments from 2015 saying something not working. But for now, for me it works perfectly. I basically added StartupWMClass=FirefoxNightly and added --class FirefoxNightly to Exec line. And make sure to update the database by running kbuildsycoca5 (or whatever equivalent on other DE) Here's the desktop file that works for me: https://gist.github.com/Aetf/d72a4c68be886aa4b60760341eb1a308

This worked for me: $ gpg --recv-keys --keyserver hkp://pgp.mit.edu 1C69C4E55E9905DB
