How safe is it to use firefox beta?
Hi, Is it fine to use Firefox beta on regular basis, e.g. syncing all bookmarks and passwords? Or, should I avoid using beta version to login to all the sites I use because it is still not the final version? Security/privacy concerns? Thank you. Regards, Aditya

Best is to install a beta release alongside of a the current Firefox release by doing a custom install. There are no privacy or security issues, but it is always possible that a website isn't working properly with a beta release, but does work with a release. Note that beta usually updated twice a week. If you do not have experience with test releases (beta, nightly) then best is to stay with the current Firefox release unless you have a specific problem that is fixed in the beta release.
Note that you should never share the same profile folder with multiple Firefox versions, but create a separate profile for each version.

There are no security concerns with using Beta. All security updates hit Beta at the same time as they hit Release.
