Quick explanation as I also found this pretty stupid.

On Debian based distro, Firefox distribute Firefox-nightly (And nightly builds of thunderbird too) via their own ppa, called firefox-trunk https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-daily/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+packages

Problem, they seem to also be called firefox-trunk internally, causing it to create their folders as ¨firefox-trunk¨ instead of the firefox-nightly. Obviously, just a little modification into the installation script could resolve that issue, and you can still install it manually of course.

Oh, and Firefox-beta on their Debian repos, replace the default Firefox releases. Don’t ask me why, I would wish to stay on Arch if I could.

Interesting... Thanks for the info! But sorry, I can't really fix this right now. I don't have a debian-based distros to test on. PRs are welcome of course!

By ¨fix¨. I would just suggest in your install script, when specified to install it on nightly, to check for a firefox-nightly folder first, and if not, search for a firefox-trunk folder, before giving up.

It’s just that. Nothing else really.
