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.

Why is still build from 2015-10-19? You can see there: https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/firefox-44.0a1.en-US.linux-i686.txt Maybe the link is changed?

I think you also need to set MimeType= as Firefox does.

I don't think the Categories field in the *.desktop files is correct. In Nightly it is: Categories=Application;Network; In regular Firefox: Categories=Network;WebBrowser; Also I can't set Nightly as default browser in Gnome, maybe because of wrong Categories. Also you could just add https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk/firefox.desktop?h=packages/firefox as a file in the PKGBUILD. and do a replace firefox/firefox-nightly and Firefox/Firefox Nightly.

I have created a PKG that simple replaces the default firefox package with the nightly. Reasons: some icon-theme's don't have the firefox-nightly icon, firefox is shorter than firefox-nightly (in terminal), etc. The PKG is based on this and default Arch Linux: https://github.com/francoism90/arch-aur/tree/master/firefox-nightly @xenom: Would be nice if you could take a look, because you're missing the dictionary folders. :)

@xenom: on next package update please replace these lines: #FX_GPG="${_file}.checksums.asc" #FX_GPG_URI="${_srcurl}/${FX_GPG}" #FX_CHKSUM_URI="${_srcurl}/${_file}.checksums" with something like that (or whatever you find suitable): #FX_GPG="${_file}-${CARCH}.checksums.asc" #FX_GPG_URI="${_srcurl}/${FX_GPG}" #FX_CHKSUM_URI="${_srcurl}/${_file}-${CARCH}.checksums"

@xenom: oh, sure, if you have other versions of firefox that will mess things up. Then I'd set the window class to something like firefox-nightly (StartupWMClass=Firefox-Nightly and adding argument --class firefox-nightly). Unfortunately the class argument doesn't work for me in the .desktop file. You could add a shell script wrapping the binary and adding the argument to make this work, but that's not really nice. Maybe someone knows how get the class argument working in the .desktop file.
