“Great news for people using Firefox Nightly on Debian-based Linux distributions (such as Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint, and others): installing, updating, and testing the latest Firefox Nightly builds just got a lot easier. We’ve set up a new APT repository for you to install Firefox Nightly as a .deb package.”

    I just started using Firefox Nightly and I’m really liking it. Daily updates, more customization, access to new features (2 full versions ahead of vanilla Firefox).

    It feels faster to me but I audited it and it’s actually ever so slightly slower than regular Firefox.

    Only two drawbacks – 1) you have to manually give some extensions needed permissions and 2) it makes your browser easier to fingerprint because fewer people use Firefox Nightly.

    But it’s still a great browser.

      Any issues with stability or unexpected behavior? I’d like to use this repo but if it bugs out too frequently I’d rather not spend more time debugging than actually using it lol

        No, it’s pretty awesome. I guess you could get it to break by enabling some experimental features, but the normal ones are solid.
