I convert the ubuntu package to PKGBUILD. you can got it from

You should build it from source. This makes it available for other arches and reduces problem due to different libs on ubuntu.

Strange that a browser needs p7zip to run. I saw your PKGBUILD and it looks like you are using it only to extract. If the actual browser doesn't need p7zip to run, you can put p7zip in a makedepends array instead of the depends array.
Also, I agree with Pierre that you should build from source.
There's no such thing as a stupid question, but there sure are a lot of inquisitive idiots !

thanks for your suggestion.
I'm not very familiar with PKGBUILD, but i'll change it asap

Also, Debian packages can be extracted using the 'ar' utility, which is part of binutils, a base (base-devel) package. So, kill the p7zip dependency, and use 'ar x' to extract Though I see another commenter might have a better idea than extracting Debian's package.
And one other thing, you're using pkgrel incorrectly - pkgrel should start at 1, and if you change the PKGBUILD or any other build file without a new actual package version, you increment pkgrel. If there's a new version, you change pkgver to the new package version and reset pkgrel to 1. Read the wiki for more info.
Thanks for the package!
