Two things:

1) I can't open my addons window from the menu or using the control keys combo; but I can do it by opening a new tab and putting in about:addons.

2) It won't update from 56 beta 6 to 56 beta 7, for whatever reason.

I think I tried clearing the cache. I guess I could try with all extensions disabled. Any other suggestions?

Hmmm. In yesterday's thread, I said how the addons were getting slower and slower to come up.
http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic ... &t=3032982

Now they are dead.

Guess what? I manually downloaded the version 56 beta7, and installed it on top of my current build, and it all seems to work fine again.

Hmmmmm.

From the description of Bug 1349227: [Meta] Ship 2 Firefox nightlies per day,
Currently we ship Nightly once a day, around 6AM PST which means that Nightly users (community and staff) in the EMEA and Asia timezones get their update in the afternoon/evening.

This situation is not ideal for our users in Europe who would like to get their Nightly update at the beginning of the day to have time to report bugs.

Furthermore, when a major functional regression (usually a top crash) is detected, we manually respin the builds but we don't do that for bugs that are annoyances even though they are often backed out or fixed in less than 24 hours. Having the possibility to update your nightly to a newer build sooner if you are very impacted by a regression is better than waiting 24h and would help with user retention.

We believe that having builds twice a day would help with Nightly retention in EMEA. In parallel, we would be less agressive with the big Update window that shows up on Nightly if you haven't applied a downloaded update in the last 12 hours.
The Status of the bug is: RESOLVED FIXED. That means we have two nights a day (and that wasn't just an eclipse, either).

Sunrise, Sunset.
Sunrise, Sunset.
Swiftly flow the builds ...
