You can use those extensions with the Nightly Tester Tool. More information here:

I can’t get my bookmarks imported. Even copying them to the profile-folder doesn’t work. I’m running firefox from my usb-stick and the bookmark-file, that I want to import, is also on the usb-stick. Importing the bookmarks like that worked for all other firefox-versions.
Thanx for giving me the opportunity to try it out

Ryan: Nobody cares about your reasoning. “Mozilla Firefox 2 Alpha 1 Available For Download” remains a lie or at least wrong conclusion. Period.

Not sure who started it or why people seem to link to the Tinderbox (They are not aware of what Tinberbox really is perhaps?).

http://forums.mozillazine.org/.....p?t=391322
Where a number of sites have posted (linked to the tinderbox no less)and saying that the 1.5.0.2 was out officially or unofficially. It has kind of gotten out of hand with casual/new Firefox users now thinking the release come from the Tinderbox when they should stay away from the Tinderbox builds. Not so bad with 1.5.0.2 as it will have very small changes between 1.5.0.1 and 1.5.0.2 compared to how 2.0 is coming along. There are still checkins being landed to the mozilla1.8.0 branch for example to show one reason why it is not out yet.

Anyways.. it is not uncommon for the nightlies to be changed to the release version some weeks before the actual release with checkins being landed right up to release sometimes.

On the versioning, the unstable Firefox Trunk has yet to have the version and name change (from 1.6a1 to 3.0a1, Deer Park Alpha to Minefield) but for example the Mozilla Thunderbird Trunk nightlies was changed from the old 1.6a1 versioning to 3.0a1 recently(mid-Feb ?) and yet the actual Thunderbird 3.0 release is not due out until mid 2007 about though one could think TB 3.0a1 must be out now right? as it has yet to branch from the Trunk also.

Anyways I feel that 2.0a1 (released officially or not) is not a build that casual/new firefox users should really be using (except in testing) if they expect extensions to work and expect it to be without problems, as some will occur due to being a work in progress with some bugs due to Placess.

If you follow the link above I have made a comment explaining my reasoning behind my posts. It should be no shocking news but I felt there was a misunderstanding behind why I have been posting Tinderbox builds.

I looked at the article and I think the comment that refered to here was a little harsh. It is not like I am trying to hide the fact that this is a TinderBox build…in fact I mention it in the first paragraph of this article. I am just letting people know it is out there for those who are too impatient to wait until tomorrow like I was.

Ryan ..Please please stop linking to the hourly Tinderbox as you are doing much more harm than good for Firefox users.

If you must link to nightly builds please link to

THIS IS NOT ALPHA! This is a frikkin’ tinderbox build, nowhere near alpha.

Look, it isn’t rocket science. Most extensions will not work, do not try and get them to work.

Actually, the only major thing that has changed since 1.5 is a new bookmarks system. The new rendering engine probably will not affect extensions.

If you want to test this build without installing it and screwing up your main Firefox profile then see here for details:
