Mozilla Now Providing RPM Packages For Firefox Nightly Builds

Written by Michael Larabel in Mozilla on 19 January 2026 at 11:18 AM EST. 9 Comments
In late 2023 Mozilla began providing Debian packages of Firefox Nightly builds complete with an APT repository. Those on Debian/Ubuntu distributions have a much easier path for enjoying Firefox Nightly since then and now Mozilla engineers are providing similar RPM builds of Firefox nightly too.

For those running Fedora, openSUSE, or other Red Hat derived distributions, RPM packages of Firefox Nightly builds have commenced. Mozilla announced today providing RPM-based distributions with Firefox Nightly builds and a working RPM repository. These RPM builds are also providing better performance via compiler optimizations, automatic .desktop file generation, easier updates, and hardened binaries via additional security flags.
