I pushed the update too soon. There's some issue at the very end of packaging. (makepkg can't find a file, even though it's definitely present at the beginning)
If you already started building... wait for profiling to complete before stopping it. This package is designed to use the previously generated profile, so you won't have to start from the beginning.
If you already built to the end... after the issue is fixed, try the -e flag to skip rebuilding.
Previously removed features are re-enabled. Building from source again has same features as binary package.
Some features were removed from the main Floorp repo a few days ago: CSK, Running extensions, Workspaces, Split view, Status bar, private containers.
Until further notice, they will be unavailable when building from source. They are still available in the binary package.
I'm still trying to figure out why PGO doesn't work on some systems. On two different build machines, xvfb-run and xwayland-run both work on one but not the other.
Update: Problem seems to be that I removed the MOZ_ENABLE_FULL_SYMBOLS=1 variable. Don't know why it affects building on one system but not another. Package has been updated and should work now.
The wlheadless-run version with pkgctl build also works for me now after adding the following lines:
export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR="$PWD/xdg"
mkdir "$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR"

It is successful to compile it with pkgctl build (in Arch clean chroot) by using xvfb-run instead of wlheadless-run, but still with git repo.

OK, I'll try to compile it again without sccache.
And perhaps you are right. It is not the better way to use git repo instead of tar.gz.
@jahiy sccache is not useful with PGO. The cache prevents optimization or has to be discarded for the recompilation stage. Your build probably "succeeded" by silently disabling PGO.
Shallow clones have to be redownloaded, so waste bandwidth on rebuild, relative to the tarball. Shallow clones have to be setup by the user in makepkg.conf.
Your PKGBUILD also discards and redownloads submodules on rebuild, wasting more bandwidth.
@xiota
The bandwidth usage you mentioned cannot be ignored. Using git repo requires downloading about 4GB of data, while downloading tar.gz only requires 700MB. However, using git repo allows for the synchronization of submodules using git submodule, which is very convenient. Perhaps we can use the git clone -b <tagname> --depth 1 <repository> to obtain a shallow copy of the repo.
There's one more thing I almost forgot to mention. I also set --with-ccache=sccache in mozconfig, but I don't know whether it really speed up compilation.

Building this package takes a very long time. To avoid excessive rebuilds, updates will be delayed until the weekend following releases.
aur/floorp-binwill be updated more quickly.This package cannot be updated on the basis of blog posts. Wait until an actual release is available before flagging: https://github.com/Floorp-Projects/Floorp/releases/
If you have problems building this package, read and follow instructions in the other pinned comment.

aur/floorpnow builds from source. Binary package available ataur/floorp-bin.If you have problems building:
Some options are available by setting environment variables:
_build_pgo=false: Don't use profile-guided optimization (PGO). (Builds faster, but runs slower.)_build_pgo_reuse=false: Make new PGO profile._build_pgo_xvfb=true: Profile with xvfb-run instead of wlheadless-run.To reduce rebuild times, this package attempts to save and reuse PGO profiles for patch-level releases. Profiles are regenerated for new major and minor releases. (major.minor.patch)
