This looks neat because it allows people to try new features without risking stability in a beta or nightly environment.

It also doesn't hold Mozilla accountable to get these new features into Firefox's core without proving that they are viable and popular.

I'm impressed.

Bug reports very welcome if this doesn't work as expected
