Thank You! However, while one part is about Firefox, the other is
about changing builds while still getting the signalling for new
builds from pacman.
One possibility seems to use Hooks, while I'm not yet sure how to use
them correctly.

Hooks don't work too well if you want to modify a package. Ralf has a
good idea, I would change it a bit and do it like this:
#!/bin/bash
# 1) set pacman to ignore firefox upgrades
# 2) perform normal pacman upgrade
sudo pacman -Syu
# 3) continue this script
# pacman should still recognize that firefox is out of date even if the
update is disabled
if [ pacman -Qu firefox ]; then
# download PKGBUILD from abs
# patch PKGBUILD
# build
# install
fi
