Eschwartz [1] filed a deletion request for firefox-dev [2]:

Frivolous duplicate of firefox-developer (or possibly firefox-aurora,
since all three seem to be essentially the same, but the other two
maintainers need to figure things out).

This package, on the other hand, was initially uploaded a couple days
ago with the (pinned) comment: "In case you're wondering why this is a
clone of `firefox-developer`: this is auto-updated every hour, without
user intervention (and has sha512 hashes!). Check out the script at
https://github.com/denysvitali/aur-firefox-dev-automaintainer"
In what world is uploading identical packages under different names,
to fix checksum issues and pkgver update frequency, okay?

@denvit, if you don't like the way a package is being maintained, the
appropriate response is to discuss it with the maintainers, not to
upload a *third* version of the exact same package under a misleading
name. Stop spamming the AUR.
