This is a set of patches, scripts and a manifest to build latest Firefox using Flatpak. DevEdition and Nightly are using GNOME 3.34 as base runtime. The UpstreamBinary Flatpak uses the FreeDesktop Platform for GNOME and KDE.

Run ./setup_runtime.sh to download and install GNOME SDK and FreeDesktop Platform for Flatpak.

Currently there are three builds available:

• org.mozilla.FirefoxNightly - to build latest nightly
• org.mozilla.FirefoxDevEdition - Firefox Developer Edition (branded aurora build)
• org.mozilla.FirefoxUpstreamBinary - pack a Firefox uptream binary as flatpak

Of course to build flatpaks the flatpak-builder package needs to be installed.

Please see the accompanying README.md in the specific build directory for further build requirements, e.g.

• org.mozilla.FirefoxNightly/README.md

To build specific build run:

./build.sh BUILD_NAME

for example

./build.sh org.mozilla.FirefoxNightly

will build Firefox from master branch.

After the build is finished you can install the app by:

./install.sh BUILD_NAME

To start Firefox use:

flatpak run BUILD_NAME

For example:

flatpak run org.mozilla.FirefoxNightly
