Tabcandy is now a Firefox Build meaning it's has it's own version of Firefox. If you want Tabcandy I would suggest installing the Tabcandy Build! This is a direct link to the installer: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/tryserver-builds/[e-mail]-4d7c7a3c5ac2/tryserver-win32/firefox-4.0b3pre.en-US.win32.installer.exe

This is what the Reporter did.
If you run and try to Update Tryserver Builds you might get an Update to the normal Nightly, probably because of the Update Channel set to "Nightly" (app.update.channel;nightly).
