[Question] Make custom firefox builds

If I need to work with the latest Firefox (or webkit) nightly (bundle 8520 in case of Firefox) do I need to change anything on the nightly for it to work with playwright? I saw the info.plist of the latest version of Firefox that ships with playwright and looks like is modified in some way?

  <key>MozillaDeveloperObjPath</key>
  <string>/Users/aslushnikov/prog/cron/playwright/browser_patches/firefox/checkout/obj-build-playwright</string>

Any suggestions would be helpful

we are trying to run tests on an array of browsers (think last 3-5 versions of each Chromium, Firefox, and webkit).

I wouldn’t recommend building browsers, it is a tedious process. You could instead use last few versions of Playwright. Playwright uses nightly versions of the browsers. For example, v1.6 is using the browsers that are ~4 weeks old now, but when v1.7. releases, they are new again. If you’d like to test against 3 versions of each, you can test against 3-5 versions of Playwright itself. It’ll be using respective older browsers.

Thank you, I will take a look. I did run it locally to apply the patches on Firefox, but I couldnt tell which version it was applying them to.
