I have webrender testing enabled and three days ago I opened Firefox Nightly and the UI was completely wrecked due some unexpected WebRender bug that was fixed after updating. So I’m glad they’re testing it on expert users first :)
EDIT: Nope, I’m not one of the default-on “safe” configurations.
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.

Really? Where? I know you can disable it in about:config, but not that it was asked of the user. I have used Nightly for years and never seen such a dialog.
Unless you did mean about:config, but I don't know how that works with a whitelist either.
I think it really should not prompt to be the default browser when you launch it (and maybe never show this prompt like Chrome Canary).
A colleague had a weird race condition (I guess) with this prompt + the "how-to" overlays and Firefox Developer Edition stopped responding to clicks 3 seconds after launching it…
Kudos for using a different profile than the classic Firefox/Nightly :)
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!

Looks to me like this is an experimental feature in Nightly. If it's highly system-dependent I can't blame them for testing the feedback as early as possible, before other systems are supported.
Question for Mozilla people here, if anyone sees it - is there a plan to bring this feature across all systems in time for regular Firefox release?

Are you using Nightly?
