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
