So for the past 2 days I've been using Minefield to try out Tab Candy, which is an excellent new feature. I downloaded Minefield with TC (Tab Candy) from the Mozilla FTP linked from this lifehacker article: http://lifehacker.com/5595027/firefox-tab-candy-organizes-your-tabs-in-groups-looks-excellent

But when Minefield has its daily/nightly update for security and stability, it takes TC away. What gives?

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

Same here. Tab Candy button (Which was not displayed by default) does nothing.

I am using the nightly Minefield with an outdated but 100% functional extension version of Tab Candy. Download is here:

This is how you can use the latest nightlies without losing TC.

Ok, so I got the newest beta (7/29, rather than the predecessor 7/25) and I'm a little disappointed that fewer of my firefox addons work with this one. The one that I'm saddest to see go is my colored tabs. Just a thought here, but is there any way to integrate an option to color tabs in the Tab Candy release? I sure would love to see that.
