6 is in beta now. Nightlies were 7.0a a few days ago, but if you update.... yep, 8.0a1
PS. Nightly has been incredibly stable on my Mac. I actually use it in production, for no other reason than I was testing it and have no reason to get an old release since it's never crashed and is incredibly fast.
- mrseb 15y agoCan echo that Nightly (8) is very stable on Windows, too.
- p3rs3us 15y agoSame goes for Linux. This build is quite stable and starts in a snap.
- w1ntermute 15y ago> Nightly has been incredibly stable on my Mac. As stable as Chrome dev channel? I use Chrome dev channel (on Linux), but I'm still a bit hesitant about using the Firefox nightlies.
- mikemaccana 15y agoZero crashes, zero manual restarts, zero lag.
- w1ntermute 15y agoAnd addon support?
- Osmose 15y agoI run Aurora and use the Add-on Compatibility Reporter[1] to disable version checks and run any add-on I want. For most of my add-ons this works fine, but if there is a significant API change an add-on might not work correctly. But if you were scared of that you wouldn't be using Nightly or Aurora.

- andrewl-hn 15y agoActually most browsers' alphas are very stable these days. At home I run Opera Next, Chrome Canary and Firefox Nightly and I haven't had any problems for months. Sometimes some websites are not shown properly in one of those but all it takes is to switch to another browser.
