In case there are people who want to use mozilla "bleeding edge", this
is a script that installs automatically, every day, the nightly build.

Put it in /etc/cron.daily and don't forget to
chmod u+x /etc/cron.daily/instmozilla

#!/bin/sh
# get mozilla from a mirror that carries this file
#ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/nightly/latest-trunk/mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu-sea.tar.gz
wget --quiet \
ftp://insert.favorite.mirror.here/path/to/nightly/build/mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz
tar xzf mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz

# sometimes the tarball is broken, in that case, won't erase the working
# version that we have
if [ $? = 0 ] ; then
   # tarball is not broken, unpacking went well
   # erase the old version and the tarball
   rm -rf /opt/mozilla mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz
   # move the new version in place
   mv mozilla /opt
   # create symlinks to plugins
   cd /opt/mozilla/plugins
   ln -s /usr/lib/browser-plugins/libflashplayer.so
   ln -s /usr/lib/browser-plugins/flashplayer.xpt
   ln -s /usr/lib/java/jre/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so
   ln -s /usr/lib/browser-plugins/nppdf.so
   ln -s /usr/lib/browser-plugins/raclass.zip
   ln -s /usr/lib/browser-plugins/rpnp.so
else
   # unpacking went wrong, just delete the bad tarball
   rm mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz
