This package is a package built directly from Mozilla's nightly tarball. This package will be updated weekly if not sooner.
First of all, thank you so much for your efforts packaging Firefox-nightly for Fedora, it’s really saves me (and I bet many other users) a lots of time installing the tarball.
I just wanted to point out, that this package creates a directory that contains firefox.desktop, instead of a desktop entry at : /usr/share/applications/, which prevents Firefox Nightly from appearing in the Gnome dock.
To compare with the stable version of Firefox :
$ ls -lr /usr/share/applications/firefox*
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 9447 May 10 16:08 /usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop
/usr/share/applications/firefox-nightly.desktop:
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 9587 May 12 14:09 firefox.desktop
Can I do something so that Firefox Nightly can be automatically detected by Gnome, or is there something to be added to the pre-install script that may prevent this from happening ?
Again, thank you so much for you efforts, and excuse any language mistakes, English is not my native language.
This package seems to make changes that are not in upstream Nightly.
For example in about:config media.ffmpeg.vaapi.enabled is set to true by default, which is unexpected. The Firefox Nightly binary from Mozilla sets media.ffmpeg.vaapi.enabled to false by default.
This is not a huge issue, but I find it problematic as I would like to test upstream as is, and this copr repo says: “This package is a package built directly from Mozilla’s nightly tarball.”
Maybe this is just an error on my end, but it seems unlikely as to my knowledge about:config defaults are always set by the packager, not necessarily even the user’s own customizations through about:config.
Looks like the last 10 days of build have failed, is this going to be fixed ?
17ish now?
