Just using Nightly and sending telemetry data is already of great help to all Mozilla developers as it allows them to get usage statistics on the features they work on. Unlike Firefox on the Release channel, Nightly sends by default anonymized usage statistics, called Telemetry which helps us improve Firefox and track regressions on a daily basis. If you are a power-user, that you want to have access to features in developments months before they become mainstream, have tolerance for occasional functional regressions and are looking for an easy way to help Mozilla and Firefox development, you should use Nightly (ideally as your main browser but you can also use it alongside Firefox on the release channel or another browser). Of course, Nightly does not have the polish, quality and stability of the Release channel as this is a work in progress but we are doing our best through automation, QA and community to provide you the best nightly builds possible. This development process used to ship a new version of Firefox every 4 weeks is called the Train Model.

Once this code matures, it is merged into stabilization repositories (Beta and Dev Edition) where that code will be polished until we reach a level of quality that allows us to ship a new final version of Firefox to hundreds of millions of people. 10.1 Regional Teams and their Nightly ChampionsĮvery day, Mozilla developers write code that is merged into a common code repository (mozilla-central) and every day that code is compiled so as to create a pre-release version of Firefox based on this code for testing purposes, this is what we call a Nightly build.

5 My nightly build is broken and can't update to a newer nightly.3 Where can I download Firefox Nightly?.Nevertheless, if you want a sneaky peak at how the future of mobile Web browsing might look, then the Firefox Mobile emulator is worth a look. Mozilla is banking on the fact that developers can build apps and add-ons freely using AJAX, CSS, JavaScript or HTML, rather than having to learn new techniques to code projects for multiple mobile platforms using multiple languages.įor now though, Fennec is a very crude version of Firefox Mobile, which is rife with display errors, bugs and feels very much incomplete. In fact, the sky is the limit really in terms of features if enough developers get excited about Firefox Mobile. There are other features on the horizon that haven't been wholly integrated into the Fennec alpha yet, such as quick dial for phone numbers on Web pages, and more work will be done to support maps and GPS tools. This is another way in which the program optimizes screen space without sacrificing functionality. Instead of displaying tabs underneath the address bar like in normal Firefox, this version stores all your tabs in a hidden area on the left, which again, can be opened by dragging your finger across the screen - this time to the left. Perhaps the feature I like most in Firefox Mobile, is the way it handles tabs. Yes, that's right, Firefox Mobile will be fully extensible, and this version even picks up the add-ons you've got installed in your desktop version of the browser. Here, you can tinker with options for JavaScript, cookies, passwords, etc., as well as managing your plug-ins. In fact, the only things displayed here other than the web page itself are the large, touch-friendly address bar and bookmarks button.įirefox Mobile avoids clutter by locking its settings in a menu that can only be viewed by dragging the screen to the right. The main window dedicates pretty much the whole screen space to the web page itself rather than placing loads of tools and options on screen. Touch-screen users will love the way that Firefox Mobile is organized.
