Hi @staticnull is the checksum wrong for firefox? Plz check. Thank you

Manually editing the latest version to 1.17.3b and disabling sha worked for me. here is the pkgbuild if anyone is interested https://pastebin.com/raw/88CsDKDc

Yeah, it's broken. It comes down to some differences in the build steps here and for the ones done by upstream. It causes different values for the Firefox source version to be read from surfer.json. Typically the values are the same but for this one it isn't. The long term fix is to update the package to more closely follow steps in the github actions for zen but if you run the build manually and update to the latest version of zen (1.17.3b) it should probably work for you.

Hi, I have the exact same issue than @zKap. I also see some warnings about firefox version being outdated, perhaps it is related ?

I am on a fresh new installation of Arch (Omarchy distro actually).

Maybe I'm a complete noob, but why do my build/compilation fail everytime with this error?

I even tried after rm the zen-browser folder in .cache/yay just to be sure, but nothing seems to work

@envolution Such a fulfilling answer. I'm so grateful.
