OK, fact #0 - I only use software whose upstream I trust.

Having said that, I usually pull md5sums and sha*sums in the PKGBUILD, all from
different sources (upstream, Debian, Gentoo, etc.), if the src is not
upstream-signed. FF releases _are_ signed (I don't know why the PKGBUILD in
[extra] doesn't check that), so just have the Mozilla signing key (currently
0x61B7B526D98F0353) in your keychain.

If you trust random people in the AUR and never inspect their PKGUILDs, or even
worse, use their binaries, you deserve to be rooted.

Best,
