Firefox 28 available?

Hello,

is the new Nightly of Firefox 28 available as PortableApp?
I would love to see a preview of the new design.
Where can I download it?

Greetings

I've never seen a Nightly Portable Firefox

I'd be surprised if they did a PortableApps release of Nightly Firefox. There would be so many changes that by the time a portable version is put together it would be out of date.

You will probably have to wait for the new design to make it to Beta or do a local install of Nightly (which apparently installs as a separate program).

Nightlies at some point

At the moment, we don't have a Firefox 'nightlies' channel setup as we do for Stable and Beta in our app directory. I'm planning on doing one at some point, but it needs a custom installer to always pull the current version and we need to figure out how to do that. It will always be different, so we can't scan it and then stick the hash in the installer so we know it'll be correct. We may have to just warn users on install that the file to be downloaded is unverified and could contain nasties.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

Hello, normally I don't try

Hello,

normally I don't try any alpha's, but I am keen on the new Australis design of Firefox 28.
I just want to have a look at the new interface, I don't need regular updates of Firefox 28.

So I thought about a portable app (I just don't want to install a virtual machine, install Windows and then install Firefox 28 inside the virtual machine).

Greetings

Alternativly take this one https://portableapps.com/news/2013-12-31--firefox-nightly-29-portable-64... works not bad, downloads with it may hang from time to time.
