CNET Editors' review
Nightly Tester Tools has one killer feature: It allows you to resurrect dead Firefox extensions. If you've upgraded your browser from an older version, and the latest build has killed a much-needed add-on, this plug-in lets you return them to life on a case-by-case basis.
Nightly Tester Tools does other things, as well. It gives users the ability to control the titlebar display, takes screenshots, can analyze the leak log, copy the build ID to the clipboard, and copy the list of installed extensions to the clipboard. These function well enough, although we wouldn't recommend the plug-in for them without the compatibility override option. They can be hidden in a submenu under Tools in the Menubar.
Nightly Tester Tools works on Thunderbird and Sunbird, too. Of course, not all extensions can be brought back to life, but when the problem is only a small tweak such as compatibility setting, saving the day is as easy as installing a new plug-in.
Publisher's Description
From Dave Townsend:
This extension adds a few extras useful to those that regularly test nightly builds of Firefox, Thunderbird, Sunbird and Toolkit SeaMonkey (Suite runner). The following is a brief list of the extension's features: Extension compatibility fixing; Titlebar customization; Build ID retrieval; Screenshots; Breakpad information; Restoring tabs from previous session; and Leak log analysis.

"Wonderful Addon"
Version: Nightly Tester Tools 2.0.2
Pros
Allows you to run your favorite FF extensions/addons when they are not yet compatible with FF. A must have if you have a few addons that you can't live without. Especially since the majority of the time, the FF updates are a week to two ahead of the addon developers.
Cons
nada, does what it claims to do. No complaints.

"Excellent add-on"
Version: Nightly Tester Tools 2.0.2
Pros
I use it to suppress the compatibility check, every 'incompatible' add-on I use works with the latest nightly build. Just force install on the override box. Fantastic.
