If I install Nightly, will it override my normal Firefox or install along side it? Thanks!

Hi Chris, Firefox Nightly (currently future Firefox 80) and Firefox Developer Edition (currently future Firefox 79) install into separate folders and use their own profiles, so side-by-side installs are easy these days. You can control the install folder name/location if you download a "full" installer (use the selectors to choose your version and language):

Of course, if you have any concern at all about data confusion, a backup isn't a bad idea: Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles.

Any specific reasons that you want to install a Nightly build as these builds are meant for experienced testers that know how to deal with issues  ?
