Yes, Firefox Nightly is available in 64-bit version and 32-bit version that is compatible with Linux. Firefox Nightly is still very rough that it still needs a lot of testing. The version is called Nightly because the developers are still doing some corrections and making some changes in their codes during daytime. And during the night, a new code is being uploaded to the servers for testing by some developers and enthusiasts alike.

That’s why the experts are suggesting that it should be installed on a test machine because some of the features have not been tested and it may cause some problems in your computer. So for those people who are not experienced enough, you should install this version with care.

The reason why they call it nightly build or Firefox Nightly is that the developers of the software do the testing and make changes to the code during the day then at night a fresh build of the software was then uploaded to the Mozilla servers so that other developers and users will be able to test the new build.

If you are using Linux on your computer, you wouldn’t have any problem installing this application.
