    I downloaded Firefox 1.5.0.4 from this site, its working fine so far. I was checking out firefox forums an they say the .4 version is a nighlty build and that i should install the .3 version over the .4, i really don't know what to do now or even why its called a nightly version. Can someone point me in the right direction please?http://forums.majorgeeks.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

    Yes, 1.5.0.4 is in RC2 stage right now. I'd recommend going back to 1.5.0.3 via this link:

    Just note that since you have installed this, there may be a RC3, that you need to install. Also, there may be updates in the future that are not official builds, but would apply to what you have just installed.

    I'd recommend, rolling back to the official 1.5.0.3. 1.5.0.4 is planned to be officially released at the end of this month, around May 31 (or so).

    @Freestyle - The nightly builds are development test builds, they're called that because they're updated nightly. They're intended to be used by testers to find the bugs in new versions before the official release - so they often have a lot of bugs.
