Firefox Portable Archive Download

Archiving the Gradle executable is straight-forward, but archiving alocal Maven repository is not. Therefore a toolchain job exists forproducing the required archives, android-gradle-dependencies. Thejob runs in a container based on a custom Docker image and spawns aSonatype Nexus proxying Maven repository process in the background.The job builds Firefox for Android using Gradle and the in-tree Gradleconfiguration rooted at build.gradle. The spawned proxying Mavenrepository downloads external dependencies and collects them. Afterthe Gradle build completes, the job archives the Gradle version usedto build, and the downloaded Maven repository, and exposes them asTask Cluster artifacts.


It's completely unclear how this either effects firefox or the operating system, it happened when i upgraded through Ubuntu's standard GUI upgrade notification, and i was also able to reproduce the problem with "sudo apt-get install --fix-broken". The updater always stalls during "==> Installing the firefox snap", and below i get this in the terminal:

Nothing seems to be functioning badly at this point, nothing about Ubuntu is screwed up and firefox works fine, however it would be nice to have a better understanding of what this was about and to get rid of the error message.


Hi  debraspicher I wonder - could this be caused by a side effect of a browser extension or plugin? If/when you encounter this again, perhaps you could try to "Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode": -US/kb/diagnose-firefox-issues-using-troubleshoot-mode


The Mozilla Archive Format (MAFF) is a legacy Web archive file format that was provided by Firefox through an extension,[3] used to store one or more web pages with their associated audio, video, and other related web resources to a single file.[5] Unlike MHTML, which uses MIME encoding within a single HTML file, MAFF compresses the page into a ZIP container file.[6]


Existing files in the discontinued .maff format can be accessed by extracting the internal folders and files with an unarchiver such as 7-Zip. It also allows for automatic processing, e.g. as ZIP-type in local search machines (like DocFetcher). Pale Moon allows .maff files to be opened in MS Windows.


Building on Mozilla automation also enables things that don't happen during what we call "local developer builds", such as dumping debug info for use to process crash reports, linking a second libxul library for some unit tests, the full packaging of Firefox, the preparation of archives that will be used to run tests, etc.
