UX builds to get some updates ( new tab page and updated download manager ) and finally Nightlies and UX build will run well on Win8 as of today.. :D

Looking forward to the new conditional forward button whenever that makes it into the nightlies. Running pretty smooth again without any issues or annoyances since the awesomebar arrow key nagivation bug got fixed last week.

The conditional forward button is in the Windows and Linux nightly builds.

cant see it on the OSX build yet :(

it's not on the "nightly" UX, only in the "hourly" UX:

Guess I'm gonna create a new profile and try it out when it lands tomorrow. I haven't used the UX builds in a while since changes were happening so slowly and not too long ago one dev or contributor mentioned that it's not a good idea to share profiles between Nightly and UX for reasons I cannot recall. I'll stop being lazy now because this looks promising.

It's still very much a work in progress, but it looks like they're going in the right direction. What they now have in the hourlies appears to be somewhat of a "live" preview of where they're going. It already looks way better than what was going on with the previous attempt of the new tab page.

That would be nice. I've seen PPA's for all the other channels but not ux.

I installed UX today and afaik it automatically updates without a PPA. It's like in Windows (when you go to Help > About UX) it check for updates.

Any chance of that new tab page hitting nightly soon? Or should I just change over to UX? (it has download manager as well right?)

I don't know. It's clearly not done yet. I'm getting tired of these twitter tumbnails. And yes, the download manager has been here on the UX side for a while.
