You're trying to install the wrong package. mullvad-browser
builds from source and hasn't been updated in a while. This is mullvad-browser-bin
.

For those getting an error message while importing PGP keys:
gpg: keyserver receive failed: No data -> problem importing keys
From: Verifying Mullvad Browser signature
Using the following command, as root, fixed the issue:
gpg --auto-key-locate nodefault,wkd --locate-keys torbrowser@torproject.org

(Presuming updating mullvad-browser is left up to Arch's package manager and not the browser's self updater)
You all may be interested in following https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser-build/-/issues/41083 and its associated issues and MRs. With respect to ignoring the updater, the 'right' way to do this is to add a particular file in the install directory. See this comment for specifics: - https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser/-/issues/42482#note_3019228
This will be the supported way for downstream packagers to disable the updater and manage their own updates from the 13.5 series on.

edit: looks like system-install
will be enough pretty soon, see @pospeselr's comment for more info. That file is already being created by the PKGBUILD
.
Thanks, I'll look into that shortly and add it if it helps.
The usual place for this is policies.json
(see this nix config for an example), but I tried that (along with all the other options that have any relation to updates) and it didn't make any difference.

Disabling auto-updates (about:config
> app.update.auto
) fixed the UpdateInfo issue for me (so far).

After an update it does not update the file in /user/UpdateInfo/updates/.. It still shows "pending". https://github.com/mullvad/mullvad-browser/issues/229 "@foter @Giger22 Please note that the packages from the aur are community provided, and we don't offer support for it.
Could you please contact the mullvad-browser-bin maintainer and pass your comments directly to them?"

edit: GitHub releases lag behind the official CDN for about an hour, but I think it's worth it to cover the less fortunate among us (myself included).
Hmm... the browser targets the privacy-conscious audience which might not appreciate sending their requests to Microsoft.
I've been having the same problem actually, so I understand your pain completely. Mullvad's servers are partially blocked and the rest is throttled here for providing a VPN service, which forces me to use a (trusted) proxy.
Let's see if anyone else cares enough to vote for or against this.
If not, I'll probably change the URL when 13.0.9 is released (which is likely to happen in a couple of days).
The binary is signed anyway.

Could you please change the source URL to GitHub? The cdn.mullvad.net server is very poor and downloading from East Asia always fails.

Make sure to fetch the developers' signing key before building the package.
The official instructions are here. The link is also mentioned in the
PKGBUILD
.If the site is blocked in your region, you'll have to work around it or trust me that this is what it says:
which (as of 2024-06-26) should also show this fingerprint:
If your gpg says otherwise, you may have been fed garbage.
