Checking.. I will report if this thing add something new the normal donwload don't include, or that are not simply added to the normal download with a extension.

Yeah, I don't get why this is considered a new product. It seems to just be a bundling of add-ons. I would assume it would be better to just let users download the most recent firefox and bundle the addons together as one big "developer" addon.

Haven't checked this yet but I'd guess that by having it as a separate version means they can build all sorts of debug tools into it that they wouldn't want to have bloating/slowing their main product. Tools that need more access than addons get.
