Thanks @heftig. All suggestions implemented.

You should set StartupWMClass=firefoxesr in the desktop file to match the remoting name set in .mozconfig, otherwise the desktop might not be able to assign the windows to the app correctly.

You should disable the crashreporter, as it's only useful if you also submit the built symbol archive to Mozilla. Since each AUR user builds the browser themselves, this isn't happening.

For the same reason, you can remove buildsymbols and the handling of the '*crashreporter-symbols-full.zip'. This will also remove a good chunk of the build time.

@GI_Jack thanks. Seems good. Done.

Please change

provides=(firefox)

to

provides=(firefox=${pkgver})

This way it works with packages that version check FX

New prebuilt binaries in my own openSUSE Build Service account:

[home_ffigue_Arch]
Server = http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/ffigue/Arch/$arch

To verify signature, you can do like this:

$ wget -O- http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/ffigue/Arch/x86_64/home_ffigue_Arch.key | sudo gpg --homedir /etc/pacman.d/gnupg --import -
$ sudo pacman-key --lsign-key F5AAC5A5424ED5CA

@sp1d3rmxn thanks. Compilation with disable-elf-hack seems ok. Please test.

@figue

Ok the PKGBUILD change I added per the bug report has proven to also be successful with this.

Again like Icecat but, slightly different (no modifications to march/mtune either just like the Icecat build):

In the "prepare()" section under the heading "#Features" add this line:

ac_add_options --disable-elf-hack

It looks like this for me:

Features

ac_add_options --enable-alsa

ac_add_options --enable-jack

ac_add_options --enable-startup-notification

ac_add_options --enable-crashreporter

ac_add_options --disable-gconf

ac_add_options --disable-updater

ac_add_options --disable-elf-hack <---- ADD THIS LINE END

Again no further changes necessary and able to use CPU tuning as expected (no generics at all).

Hope this helps anyone going through the same headache.
