FAQ

I want Firefox, what is Nightly?

Mozilla's trademarks on Firefox disallows distributing unofficial builds using the Firefox trademark. This is why the Nix-built Firefox is named Nightly.

The official builds are available by enabling unfree and installing firefox-bin.

How do I get Firefox Quantum (57)?

When using NixOS 17.09, stable, nixos.firefox currently gives version 56. Enabling unfree, and updating channels if required, allows the use of nixos.firefox-bin which is packaged from Mozilla's upstream released binaries.

Using NixOS unstable, the Nix-built nixos.firefox has been updated to 57.

Do note that Quantum is a marketing term, and as long as the version is greater than 57, the enhancements are in the Nix-built browser, which uses the name Nightly because of trademark issues.
