Firefox Nightly won't update

I'm running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. I recently noticed that Firefox Nightly was running on version 61 from March, while the latest is version 64 from August. I use the extra ppa and tried to manually update the browser

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install firefox-trunk

But I always get

firefox-trunk is already the newest version (61.0~a1~hg20180331r410852-0ubuntu0.16.04.1~umd1).

Launch pad shows that the latest available version is actually 63. What am I doing wrong and how can I update my browser?

If you visit , you'll see the following image as of today indicating build failures for xenial, bionic, and cosmic:

I'm sure you're aware that nightly builds aren't advisable for regular use. But if you want, you can download builds directly from for 64-bit or 32-bit and follow where other users of nightly and beta post their observations and report bugs they encounter and bugs they file.

This build will update automatically.
