I've been using Aurora for a while, and now i'm onto Nightly. I must say, firefox is now my most favorited browser out there. It's pretty fast, they've been working on performance all this time no doubt.
I had ton's of addons that were incompatible, but I recently modified an addon that I use a lot so that it's now compatible with Firefox version 8 (8.0a1). Live HTTP Headers

You'll notice that trying to install the original version shows up as incompatible. If you want MY version, shoot me a PM for the download to the addon file. Just drag it over into your addon window to install. Restart firefox and voila
Enjoy
I would highly recommend that if you're not a developer though, and if you don't have lots of knowledge with the way Firefox works, that you stick with Firefox 7 (Aurora) because 8 is still fairly new, and there's more work to be done on it. Not to say it's completely bugged, but just to stay on the safe side. I haven't found any bugs so far, but use your own discretion for deciding whether or not to go all the way to version 8. They even recommend running it in a VirtualBox just in case.
There's a 64 bit and 32 bit version of Nightly, I'd recommend running the 32 bit if you can, as you'll encounter a hassle when you try to get Flash player. If you try to install flash using a 64 bit web browser you'll get a nice message saying that you can't.
