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.

Can we install this alongside stable firefox from the main repos?

I also wrote another fat PKGBUILD for i18n (auto-detects langs from /etc/locale.gen, opt-in interactive) But i have run into few problems: 0. At first i18n extensions weren't even showing up - i had to change its name to eg. langpack-ru@firefox.mozilla.org.xpi 1. Extensions needs to be accepted manually :/ -> EDIT: 0&1 explained here http://mike.kaply.com/2012/02/09/integrating-add-ons-into-firefox/ 2. After that it only works when lang is forced via eg. `firefox-nightly -UILocale ru` -> EDIT: change intl.locale.matchOS true ; but i have no idea how to do this from package (so it will be default for all lusers) -> EDIT2: fixed with pref("intl.locale.matchOS", true); in defaults/pref Final edit (i hope): our official archlinux repo includes https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk/vendor.js?h=packages/firefox I think that this package should do the same… (in case of this package path is ${pkgdir}/opt/firefox-${pkgver}/defaults/pref/ ) Sorry for spamming :( aur has no edit button

I wrote a nice script to improve my laziness :> https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/changeling/ As long as one is using cron and yaourt -Syua from time to time it's possible to force update of package once in day/week/month (or more sophisticated via crontab) eg. ln -s /usr/bin/changeling /etc/cron.weekly/firefox-nightly (Remember to test symlink manually - by just running it from root ofc)

Please update pkgver=25.0a1 to pkgver=26.0a1 in PKGBUILD to get latest nightly

@hOx: else you can run firefox-nightly as root, which will give you permission to write to /opt/firefox-xxx folder. Or just simply chown the entire /opt/firefox-xxx folder to your username
