type="cite">I downloaded it (first links worked for me, that might
be Gmail's magic in fixing broken links, now if they could fix it
when they BREAK links...), installed it, and it worked just fine
for me. I had to recombobulate things after I uninstalled it (I
run 64-bit, not 32-bit), but nothing horrendous (the helper app
needs to have SOME indication that it's Mozilla, I was unprepared
for the UAC, and almost didn't let it run, although all it seemed
to do was to pin Nightly back on my task bar).<br>
<br>
The one nit I saw, was that I had my 64-bit Nightly still running
during the installation. The alert that I needed to close Nightly
never popped up on top, didn't flash on the taskbar, or even turn
it yellow for me to notice. I thought it should be done, and
that's when I found the pop up under the installation window.
Granted, it's not something that probably even .01% of people are
going to run into. So when you give the alert, make it top most.
:)<br>
<br>
Although I'm not one for these kinds of installation stubs,
personally. I think counting on 100% Internet connectivity isn't
quite there. I think it will be, but not yet. I installed
Windows 7 on this new motherboard, and found myself unable to
update because it didn't recognize my Ethernet ports. Luckily I
found the DVD for the mobo and got all the drivers installed I
needed. Windows 8 (the first OS on the motherboard) curiously
didn't have that trouble.<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>

</span><span>provides</span><span>
a solid user
experience</span><span>.
