Thank you!  I was tempted to reopen it, but it looks like the general
consensus is that an AUR package will be submitted.

It looks like sticking to upstream trumps user-centric in this case.
(Although I guess building from AUR is a fair substitute for
user-centric.)

It's a real bummer that a bunch of users (myself included) will be
forced to compile Firefox on each release.  I really hope we can
eventually get an abrowser or firefox-nobranding (or maybe even
palemoon) into the repos.

How can we nominate a package into community or extra?

(And if you are fed-up with Mozilla's walled-garden policy like I am, I
suggest trying out Pale Moon [0].)
