As I > stated, I am an enthusiast. No, you're doing everything right (though I use a slightly different method: I go to http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/latest-trunk/?M=D to have it sorted by newest chronologically so I usually see immediately whether there _is_ a newer build for my platform [win32]). Each nightly is a complete package of the Mozilla "Seamonkey" browser suite, and not an _update_ or _patch_ to the earlier one. But you won't be losing any personal config or mail or whatever data as that's stored in the profiles which don't get overwritten (unless the nightly you're downloading is slightly broken and overwriting stuff).
