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.

please stop marking this package out of date without reason. The latest trunk of nightly build is still "4.0b13".

So? E: and in addition it's not even released yet: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Releases/Firefox_4.0rc1. The first RC1 candidate build can be found through here: ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/4.0rc1-candidates/build1/. If you meant that, you were right.

Bug #1745010581, Action #1792740381 - Status change: Patches Welcome → Won't Fix Closing :).

Easier, but somewhat risky workaround-run firefox-nightly as root then help>about>update.

xenom commented on 2011-02-07 20:07 (UTC)

I won't use the mar files because : 1) We need to find the external number, and I need to be sure the external number is correct, else it can break the PKGBUILD. 2) Use of mar files make a complex PKGBUILD, that won't match all the user preferences, and can cause problem with AUR helper. 3) Update can crash a running instance of firefox. Even if someone can make a nice patch, with a sure (and verified) way to find the external number, and no problem with AUR helper, I'm not sure I would merge it, just because of 3.

Well, even if we do understand this numbering, one point is worrying me: "It is recommended that all instances of the application that are running on the system including those being used by other users are closed before going any further. Important: though this should never cause the update to fail there might be cases where it will and it can definitely break a running instance of the application." You cannot ask the user to close all firefox instances before running the update. And crashing its running instance is bad as well...
