I know you're coming to the rescue on this one RL.

It gets pretty confusing choosing one.

What's the difference between 2004-07-10-09-0.9 as opposed to 2004-07-10-10-0.9? I really don't see the difference. Other than the underlined portion; which I don't know what stands for. I do understand though the portion before that is the date and the portion at the end is the build. So, then what's in the middle?

Break this one down for instance:

2004-07-10-09-0.9/
2004-07-10-09-trunk/
2004-07-10-10-0.9/
2004-07-10-10-trunk/

What I have gathered though [through the FF forums] is that trunk/branch builds are more stable, and closer to the 1.0 milestone. The nightlies are more likely to be buggy.

Well... which do I download?
Yeah, I've been bit by the Firefox bug.
