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.

It has the XPCOM problem. You should replace the start script in /usr/bin/firefox-nightly with a script like that: #!/bin/sh /opt/firefox-8.0a1/run-mozilla.sh /opt/firefox-8.0a1/firefox $@

@MaTachi: An alternative is to start the nightly as root, that gives it the necessary permissions to update itself. Which won't change the version entry in the pacman database though, but that's only relevant every one or two months.

8.0a1 is out

Thanks disastro! I didn't know that this package worked in that way. Thanks again!

Reinstall the package then since there is an updated version of Firefox available. That makes it go away and you have newest Nightly

Yes. In Advanced/Update, disable "automatically check for updates to Nightly".

I'm having the same problem as MaTachi, is there a way to fix that?

MaTachi commented on 2011-06-09 08:22 (UTC)

Is it possible to update Firefox with their own updater in the browser? My Firefox says that there is a newer version of Nightly available and it asks me if I want to install it, but when I press "Accept" it loads forever with the message "Connecting to server...".
