A place to check for issues with the Nightly channel builds is the Builds threads in http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewforum.php?f=23 as some Testers hang out there.

"WaltS48" What happened to search from the Add-ons Manager? Open AOM, select Extensions, type an extension name into the "Search on addons.mozilla.org" search box, click the glass icon or press Enter. No tab opens with search results. Tested this with new profiles on Windows and Linux.
"Alice0775" it is https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1483025

The Nightly channel builds gets checkins with two updates each day so sometimes there can be issues until fixed, finished or reverted.
