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.

Deleting cache (i deleted the whole .cache folder, just because of yes, cleaning the house time) fixed video decoding issues which i had even with ffmpeg4.4. May be related to this https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=274331

Can confirm on fardragon's comment - I had the message "You may need to install additional codecs" whenever I encountered any form of video in a website. paru -S extra/ffmpeg4.4 and a restart of Firefox fixed it

fardragon commented on 2022-02-18 09:53 (UTC)

I believe the package should now depend on extra/ffmpeg4.4 instead of ffmpeg (which is now on version 5.0). After updating my system video playback was broken until I installed ffmpeg4.4

The pinned comment from 2017 is outdated.

I had to run [as root ~]# pacman-key -r 0x61B7B526D98F0353

@Akrai: Good idea, done.

This PKGBUILD is auto-updating (you just need to build it again) as long as the major version number is correct. Please only flag out-of-date when a new major release is available.

the package is not out of date

Archange i would recommend u to pin a basic explanation of why the package is not out of date, is too frequently asked here

@akayashi_mika What about just straight-up doing rm -rf ~/.cache/? iirc yay -Sc isn't great at removing the AUR yay cache in ~/.cache/..
