Nightly Fennec Builds
 
Anyone still downloading the latest nightly Fennec builds? I know this questions has been asked across a bunch of Firefox threads, but figured it was worth its own thread. I just removed Firefox and replaced it with the latest nightly build and find it to be a much better performer than the current 1.0 release. My only issues are that the number of compatible add-ons is limited, but at least Weave (the biggest reason I enjoy using it) is functioning.

We seem to be in a similar seat. I was using Firefox about two weeks ago then I tried Fennec and never looked back. Too bad Nightly Tester Tools isn't working on Fennec, that way you could have run any extension. I guess you can just hack it at your computer/direcly in the N900 if you wished too, though.

Started using Fennec nightly builds-way faster than the current Firefox. Add ons stopped working for me in the last two builds, how to make them work again?

Looks like we need to tell people about the repo. Beware however that using it from a repo will trigger a daily update. That's what a nightly build is after all.

This is a very useful guide to that as well, written by a Mozilla QA tester:

Well, I guess that should be pretty obvious:D
It happens to me all the time at my computers too, since I run Minefield on them.

By the way, I will check if I can hack an extension and install it on my N900 later tonight.
