If anyone has downloaded the latest nightly build, you will see a lot of changes all over. I can't log into Macworld though. I guess if they plan to release an update soon it will have some nice features. Firefox Nightly Builds

Looks pretty nice but yea, no login ability here and other places. Until they fix that, not quite worth using /forums/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif.

Really? YIKES! - what a blunder. I'd recommend Mozilla Org pull that nightly - things like that can sour alot of novice users on it, quick. /forums/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

No offense, but I think Mozilla knows what it's doing. Nightly builds aren't targeted for novice users and they make no guarantees about it even starting up (those of us who used Mozilla nightlies before 1.0 will remember the angst involved with downloading a non-working build). Those builds are for development, not production use. That's what the milestone builds are for.

Yep, no cause for alarm. You have to know where to go to find the nightlies in the first place, and I would never actually expect one to work 100% perfectly. If it did, they'd probably make it a milestone release /forums/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
They are, however, a cool way to see what's coming soon to the browsers...
