I thought (after reading your FAQ) that the Trunk builds get more code, so I installed a nightly and it was still showing 0.9.1, so I've gone back to the 0.9.3 release.

Aviary is going to be the basis for the eventual OSX v1.0, and that’s linked to this:
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-0.9/

What I get downloading, I get this:

Izzat right?

It tells me to get the Aviary nightly, and the word “Aviary” is hyperlinked to here:

ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-0.9/

Okay, but what’s in “~nightly/latest-0.9/” identifies itself as:

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.2) Gecko/20040819 Firefox/0.9.1+

So, I wonder, and I go back and look. Yes, that did come out of “~nightly/latest-0.9/”

From there I go to the parent directory, and find, Lo, there is an adjacent “~nightly/latest-0.9.1″ but the file in there is old, old, old.
