> So assuming you untar then run it, the only thing it should alter is the `~/.mozilla` folder, but it creates a separate profile from the release channel, so you can delete that afterwards and carry on... I think there's a nightly snap too, but that's not provided by Mozilla, IIRC

(Just to be extra clear: emilio is **not** suggesting that you delete `~/.mozilla` -- that's the top-level folder where all Firefox data is stored including your regular Firefox profile.

The thing that you'd want to delete (if you like) would be the Nightly profile folder inside of `~/.mozilla/firefox`; you can discover the specific profile folder by visiting `about:profiles` from inside Nightly, and it'll tell you "This is the profile in use" for whichever profile it's using.  Or `about:support` has a line that shows the Profile Directory, too.

Alternately/also, you can just leave this folder alone; it will just store some settings from the few minutes that you test Nightly, and it won't bother your regular Firefox instance or anything else at all.)
