I also use Firefox Nightly. But was rudely surprised to notice that settings were getting reset after nightly upgrades. This is really poor decision by Firefox. If they expect early adopters to use and give feedback, then they should be friendly to them.
I wasn't aware that the Firefox nightly had Symbol, I will download Firefox nightly later and update the post, I should have Firefox nightly anyway. Thank you!
Thanks for the information. I've been running only Nightly for over a year now and hence my misinformation. That logic does seem sound though but would be better implemented if any change to any preference that's not visible in the Preferences section raised a notification about it. I think I'll add this to Bugzilla.
You can access about:config and change your user agent if you use Firefox Beta or Firefox Nightly. The latter is annoying since you get constant updates, but the former is about as stable as normal Firefox.
I know but it never worked for me. I followed the procedure twice, two different years, two different installs. I'm always doing something wrong. On Mozilla's side, why are they even doing that to us on Nightly?
I do agree, and I'm more careful now. Always keep a backup, at the very least. I now symlink ~/bin/firefox to nightly because some apps seem to have it hardcoded to open "firefox" rather than what's set as default.
Apparently, WebIDE is part of Firefox proper not just nightly. You'll have to toggle a pref in about:config (devtools.webide.enabled) to make it visible in the developer menu. It's pretty cool.
