I keep getting requests to update Nightly, like every day. Can I uninstall Nightly and install the 32-bit version of FF? Will it at least be stable so I do not have to update every day?

hello, nightly is an early development version that receives daily updates (or nightly as its name is already suggesting). in case you want to use a regular firefox version, please use the release version (updated each six weeks) or the beta version (updated roughly every 5 days): https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/channel/#firefox

Nighty is one of the four main development channels. Nightly, Aurora, Beta and Release. The Nightly and Aurora channels usually get checkins every day so therefore they get a update each of those days, with the occasional respin the same day. Sometimes there can be regressions and result in a unusable build that day until the problem checkin(s) is either fixed or backed out.


Unless you want to be a Tester, you probably should just stick with Release or Beta (currently at 32.0b8) at most.
