Bundy, I think you have misunderstood how Mozilla releases work, or rather how they are named.
To begin, a "release" signifies a publicly available piece of software called "Mozilla", which has achieved certain stability "milestones." A "milestone release" is made available publicly every six weeks, or so. The last publicly available "milestone release" is Mozilla 0.9.8. Before a milestone release is made available, there are several pre-releases (test releases, if you like), which are called "branch builds." These are called "branch builds", because a "milestone" is a "branch" off the main Mozilla "trunk". Imagine an apple tree. As the apple tree grows, it gets new branches. Each branch is still part of the apple tree, though. If a branch of this apple tree looks solid (like it will hold three unruly children climbing up it), then it could be called a "branch build" or if its really, really stable a "milestone build", or simply a milestone. Think of Mozilla developers as gardeners. They trim off dead leaves, and water the tree, and pray to the apple tree Gods. For more information on this please see the Mozilla roadmap: http://www.mozilla.org/roadmap.html A "build" signifies a publicly available piece of software called "Mozilla", which is not necessarily as stable as a "milestone release" or a "release". "Builds" are made available every night, hence the term "nightly build." What you assumed to be Mozilla 0.9.9 (confusingly enough in a folder containing the same name on the Mozilla FTP server), is actually a pre-release version of Mozilla 0.9.9. It will be a lot like Mozilla 0.9.9, but is NOT Mozilla 0.9.9 I hope this clear things up and that the apple tree metaphor did not go too far.
