LibreWolf was adopted into Arch Linux' extra repository, so there is no need to maintain PKGBUILDs separately anymore.

Should one still require to build it from source on Arch, this can easily be accomplished via the Arch Build System.

The official Arch Linux Package Build for the LibreWolf Browser

Building from source

If you're on Arch Linux, you can use this repository to build the LibreWolf Browser from source.

The build process will take a long time, even on powerful machines, it takes about an hour. On weaker computers, it can take way longer. If you still want to build it yourself, follow the steps below.

First clone and enter this repository:

git clone https://codeberg.org/librewolf/arch.git && cd arch/librewolf

Then import Mozilla's and Librewolf's GPG keys:

gpg --recv-key EBE41E90F6F12F6D gpg --fetch-keys https://rpm.librewolf.net/pubkey.gpg

Fingerprints: Mozilla: 14F2 6682 D091 6CDD 81E3 7B6D 61B7 B526 D98F 0353 Librewolf: 662E 3CDD 6FE3 2900 2D0C A5BB 4033 9DD8 2B12 EF16

Finally resolve dependencies, build and install the package:

makepkg -si

AUR packages

To make your life easier, use the packages provided via the AUR:

• librewolf: build from source; again, it will take a long time
• librewolf-bin: spare the time and work, download the binary
