What is your strategy with updates? Do you give yourself permission to write to opt or do you run Firefox Nightly as root once a day so it can update iself? I tried the latter for a few weeks and grew tired. I can't wait for containers to come to Firefox stable (which is the feature I am looking forward to the most in nightly).

I mean, it doesn't have to be in your /opt/ folder, you can put it anywhere and add it to your $PATH. I did however give myself permissions to /opt/nightly/, where my binary and the rest of its files are.

I think official deb and rpm repositories would still be nice.
