I wouldn't recommend Nightly for normal browsing. You'd be better off with Aurora (Firefox 7) if you want the new features sooner but also like to be sure Firefox will start after every update.
Anyway, somebody gave me a cube to solve once. After about 15 or 20 minutes it dawned on me that I had an impossible cube. Somebody who thinks they're moving closer to the solution by swapping stickers can do something like put the white sticker on a corner cubie with the blue sticker, not realizing that white and blue are always on opposite sides.
White is opposite yellow. Blue is opposite green. Are you sure you hadn't just forgotten how to solve a Rubik's Cubes?
There isn't just one Linux GUI. Sure, some are designed to mainly use the mouse, but then there are others designed to only need a keyboard.

I've been deleting ~/.adobe and ~/.macromedia regularly for quite a while now and haven't had any unexpected problems. The only downside is that it deletes my progress in flash games.
You are correct, nightly is the latest build from mozilla-central. I was saying that currently Nightly = Firefox 6, although this will change in the future.

Two can play at this game. My Firefox 9.0.1 with 24 tabs running for a few hours is using 509MB resident memory.
Looks like Opera is quite the memory hog.
How about we don't use anecdotal evidence to judge browsers we don't use?
Not just Bing
errrr.... what?
I'd like to know where I could earn £120,000 as a starting salary when I graduate.
I am very curious, is there an effort to focus on speeding up the UI, or decoupling UI responsiveness from the pages/plugins active at the time?
Yes there is. Electrolysis
Try DuckDuckGo
I've been using it as my primary search engine for months now and it's working well.

Just because you're willing to spend money on a 27 inch HD computer screen doesn't mean everyone is.
Or you've just gotten old...
LibreOffice can convert your documents/spreadsheets to PDFs.
I want to know what search engine you speak of.

Installing programs! Windows doesn't like that.

If you're on the dev channel what do you expect?
what would be the point of using FF over chrome if the are the same darn browser?
One of them doesn't track you.
Also, work is underway on Electrolysis - splitting Firefox into separate processes
I don't think there's any need for a status bar any more - addon buttons can go at the top and target URLs show in a popup at the bottom.
However, one of the best things about Firefox are it's addons - you can re-enable the status bar if you want by using Status-4-Evar
