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.

Looks like previous subkey (15A0A4BC) has expired. I can't find any info about the new one, though.

Pardon me for off-topic question, but is that a valid key? $ gpg --verify firefox-42.0a1.en-US.linux-x86_64.checksums.asc firefox-42.0a1.en-US.linux-x86_64.checksums gpg: Signature made Sun 19 Jul 2015 04:12:32 PM SAMT using RSA key ID 5E9905DB gpg: Can't check signature: No public key

The problem came from the change in architecture handling. Should be fixed now.

The download url is unavailable. Firefox has been split into i686 and x86_64.

Not sure its a bug or problem, only try to say the nightly not using separate own configurations, bc share it with repository package "firefox", and isnt possible run it in the same time is running firefox, because it detect its runnin, only wonder me why it using shared data and not separated own configuration, and process name... Ofc not say that is bug or somethin like that, only wonder why is that way... Greetings...

Not sure what you mean. /usr/bin/firefox-nightly is in PATH, so just 'firefox-nightly' should launch it. Yes, it's a symlink to /opt/firefox-41.0a1/firefox, but why is it a problem?

drathir commented on 2015-05-27 12:27 (UTC)

Correct also sadly nightly share bin name and configuration with normal firefox version from AL repository... Temporaly solution could be use developer one version...

I have regular firefox installed then I installed this firefox-nightly (yaourt). Installation went well, but when I launch it, the regular firefox gets launched but not nightly

xenom commented on 2015-03-27 19:56 (UTC)

Yes, if you have already the package it can cause problem. @fightcookie, it seems you use yaourt, but I can reproduce the problem. I will look this problem this weekend. You can modify this line (22) sha512sums=("${_srcsum}" 'SKIP' ' ... in sha512sums=('SKIP' 'SKIP' ' ... to skip the checksum verification. @cigard : I used a similar method before, but this way you don't verify the checksum of the package.

It does not handle having already downloaded a different build of the same release number. See thunderbird-nightly for a different approach which takes care of this.
