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.

It's failing to install for me, python-psutil on system is 5.9.1 but the package requires psutil<=5.8.0,>=5.4.2.

WARNING: You are using pip version 21.2.3; however, version 22.2.1 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the '/tmp/tmpkzr4yqpt/bin/python -m pip install --upgrade pip' command.

firefox-nightly will now be tracking the Arch build provided by heftig (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=117157). The current package will be moved to firefox-nightly-bin instead, and updated to 104 as required.

qumaciel commented on 2022-07-17 14:22 (UTC)

needs a bump to v104.

The WM class for Nightly has changed; the StartupWMClass line in firefox-nightly.desktop needs to be changed to "StartupWMClass=firefox-nightly" in order for e.g. the correct icon to show up in Plank.

@Archange Looks like 100 just released. Not sure why it was marked out-of-date earlier today as it wasn't released this morning.

Just a short notice that support for ffmpeg 5.0 just landed in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1750760 Therefore, the dependency on ffmpeg4.4 can be switched back to ffmpeg as soon as the build releases
