The Burning Edge
 
This is an excellent website, it basically lists all the changes in the nightly Firefox builds.
If you like living your internet life on the edge then you should try some nightly builds, I do and I'm seeing the future of Firefox right now.
Some of this stuff is running Cairo, which is the OpenGL interface to Firefox, it's as if Longhorn was here already. :eek:
Be careful though, some bugs introduced in these builds can be very dangerous if you don't know what you're doing.

Check out the URL to see the 30-40 new features and fixes that happen every night. :)

IE7?
As far as I'm concerned you can stuff it.

I have used some builds of firefox, i had a really bad one where the bookmark bar was cascading with the address bar and objects on websites were all over the place :O

So how do you download the latest version for today (I've got a spare OS at the moment, worth a play)?

I bet you've got a Firefox duvet cover, and if not, I bet you're trying to plan some way of creating one using PHP.

Unless M$ make it that you HAVE to download & install it when you update your system ;)

Or, if anything else comes out for Windows that you want, and it says "IE7 is required".

I have a Firefox mug, I didn't make that with PHP though.

Repeat after me, "It's only a browser ... It's only a browser ... It's only a browser"

Oh look, another good thread that's being turned into a Firefox "v" IE debate ;)

Unfortunatley with language in it that makes it potentially unsuitable for this forum, or for work.

Now, THE TOPIC please...

Richard, what would you recommend somebody should do if they wanted to sample a cutting-edge nightly build but hadn't the first clue about managing unstable and potentially damaging software? Are some builds 'safer' than others (and can you choose which to install)? Can you load up a version of FF (for either Windows or Mac OS) in such a way that it's isolated from the rest of the PC so as to avoid damage? I'd love to see the future but I don't want to wreck my computers (especially not the Windoze laptop, which belongs to work).

You could try using VMWare or VirtualPC then install a copy of Windows on it.
