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.

@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/..

@ToadKing I already tried doing that yay -Sc. Still no progress. Thanks tho

ToadKing commented on 2021-12-13 06:41 (UTC)

@akayashi_mika Try doing a cleanBuild on it, or making sure the cache folder for it in yay is deleted.

Hello, please, upgrade to firefox-nightly 95.0 version.

Emilie commented on 2021-10-05 10:21 (UTC)

Alright thanks.

Archange commented on 2021-10-04 20:56 (UTC)

@Emilie: The source PKGBUILD itself only needs to be updated once per major version. But building it at anytime should give you a ∼24h old version at most.

ToadKing commented on 2021-10-04 16:12 (UTC)

Yes, the PKGBUILD automatically gets the latest build of the major release number (currently 94).

Emilie commented on 2021-10-04 16:10 (UTC)

What, does this update only when a major release is out?
