Hi Nightly Testers,<br>
<br>
See the message below - we need your help testing out the new stub
installer that we just implemented on Nightly! The biggest area of
help I need here is that if you are on Windows, try installing
Firefox Nightly with the link below. If you hit any problems, let
me know.<br>
<br>
If you are interested in helping out test this feature in more
depth, let me know, as I would greatly appreciate the help.<br>
<br>
Sincerely,<br>
Jason Smith<br>
