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.

swiftgeek, did you try mediasource stuff with firefox 36 in YT? This is not the place to discuss it, but when I set media.mediasource.ignore_codecs -> true the audio is being played only for a few seconds. Then I get a pop and silence. Just FYI.

Gstreamer/MSE "Works for me ™" There are only two things not supported at this moment - HW acceleration (even though gst is used) and "MSE & H.264" on youtube which is easily workarounded with "YouTube ALL HTML5" addon (Development Channel Version 2.2.0beta3 for Nightly) about:configs (which are already mostly enabled by default -.-) media.mediasource.* media.gstreamer.enabled And more™ just use google ffs -.- or actually read what you can enable in about:config - it also has search ffs... OpenH264 is for WebRTC -.- Something that simple google search would explain in less time than you wrote those comments -.-

CrystalGamma commented on 2014-12-03 15:16 (UTC)

OpenH264 AFAIK is Baseline Profile only, i.e. worthless for Youtube. It's also CPU only. Is there a way to re-enable GStreamer for nightly?

misc commented on 2014-11-27 16:52 (UTC)

Firefox switched to Cisco's OpenH.264 plugin with 33 in June, which should be automatically downloaded (or bundled on Linux?) and listed under Plugins. It's listed for me (but I use the same profile folder for Firefox on Windows), but https://www.youtube.com/html5 still tells me that H.264 is unsupported.

CrystalGamma commented on 2014-11-02 20:42 (UTC)

Unlike the stable package, this version does not support H264 video on my system ... does it depend on a different version of gstreamer or is H264 via gst disabled in the nightly version?

@KingYes Some pacman helpers like yaourt store the firefox-[ver#][alpha#].en-US.linux-.tar.bz2, don't recognize that it's a daily changing file since its name stays the same, thus won't redownload it for the length of that release and fail the check. You'll have to delete the file manually.

The PKGBUILD get the checksum for the sources from the mozilla website (the file firefox-36.0a1.en-US.linux-x86_64.txt contains the checksums). If the checksum is bad, your download is corrupted or something is wrong on the mozilla server (maybe just a synchronization problem). Currently, it's working.

Just rebuild your package to get the new version. New version numbers are every 6 weeks. It is the only time the PKGBUILD needs change.

A nightly version shouldn't be updated more often?
