Udated to Nightly 56a1.
After the update - Win10 reported that "something went wrong and your browser has been reset to Windows Edge"

I opened Nightly and under options selected make nightly your default, this took me to windows settings and under Browser, Nightly wasn't an option.

I closed Nightly and opened Firefox and did the make Firefox you default selection under tools, This took me (again) to the windows settings. This time under browser both Nightly and Firefox appeared. Selected Nightly and all seems good.

Not sure what happened but it was rather strange. I've never had this happen with previous version updates of Nightly.

@ KennS - It's just Windows 10 thing... reverting settings, options and preferences,
and sometimes even uninstalling some software... ](*,)

Tired of constant Firefox UI changes? XUL extensions are not working anymore? Try SeaMonkey, Waterfox Classic, Pale Moon.

Double check to ensure that the nightly/hourly you are using has the patch. It can take a while for the versions to build, you can check this in about:buildconfig.

I've been testing with m-c builds for years.. I am pretty confident that the build I downloaded/installed IS/DOES contain the patch.

See my comments in the bug report. There are still issues which IMO need to be addressed.

ForecastFox fixed still has problems. I'm sure plenty of other WE add-ons will suffer as a result of the patch in question.

Does anyone know what's going on with these latest builds? All I'm getting is a big messed up screen:

It doesn't matter if browser.photon.structure.enabled or multi-process is enabled or not. Must be something new that landed that doesn't work very well on Windows 7.

Figured it was Windows 7-related since no one else was having the issue. 52esr has problems on Windows 7 too that XP doesn't like choppy flash and scrolling. 45esr was the last decent version for it.

Looks like Advanced Layers is doing to be enabled for users on Windows 7 soon. It's already enabled for Windows 8 and above. See here.
