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.

SigLevel = Optional

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.

Hmm, maybe known problem, but breaks compilation. Anyway, new version of gcc, new kind of error:

Known problem; gcc 16.1.1+r346+g4e03491b401d-3 is currently broken and doesn't allow dynamically linking libstdc++. gcc 16.1.1+r346+g4e03491b401d-4 should fix it.

DuKol commented on 2026-07-13 06:29 (UTC)

Well, I cannot build with quite strange error:

0:17.09 checking whether the C++ compiler supports -Wno-character-conversion... yes 0:17.13 checking whether the C++ compiler supports -fno-sized-deallocation... yes 0:17.17 checking whether the C++ compiler supports -fno-aligned-new... yes 0:17.76 checking whether we're trying to statically link with libstdc++... yes 0:17.76 E ERROR: Firefox does not support linking statically with libstdc++ 0:17.87 E *** Fix above errors and then restart with "./mach build" ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build(). Aborting...

Can I change it myself to make it built?

You should add package libvpx1.15 as dependency because of this error: unable to satisfy dependency 'libvpx.so=11-64' required by firefox-nightly

After installing that: libvpx1.15 package from AUR I finally got successfuly installed Firefox-Nightly. That fixes upgrading from older version. Helped by DeepSeek.

brezza commented on 2025-12-21 04:25 (UTC)

firefox nightly 148 is already available when it is going to be available in aur?

heftig commented on 2025-11-20 16:51 (UTC)

You should check if your crash reports have any related bugzilla links.

If there's no bug already, you can use mozregression to find which commit/changeset introduced the bug and then file as new bug as "regressed by" the bug of the culprit commit. That usually gets it handled quickly, especially crashers.
