If you can be bothered, it's a quick test - you can grab the latest build from here: http://nightly.mozilla.org/ It's distributed as a tarball which you can simply unpack and then directly execute - it doesn't need to be actually installed so it won't mess with your existing Firefox instance (although you'll definitely want to make sure that your Firefox 26 isn't running at the same time, otherwise Bad Things might happen). If you don't like it then you can just delete the unpacked directory and that's it. So, make sure you have no running Firefox instances and issue: /path/to/extracted/nightly/firefox -P And create a new test profile, just to make sure you don't knacker your existing one. Once Nightly starts with the new blank profile, edit browser.tabs.remote to true and restart Nightly with: /path/to/extracted/nightly/firefox Now you're running the latest firefox build with sandboxing enabled. Of course, if all this seems like a lot of effort just to test a new feature and you really can't be bothered I won't be remotely surprised, because it is a bit of a pain. I've been running Nightly as my default browser forever (and I'm tangentially and very peripherally involved in Firefox development and packaging) so I've got kind of used to it.
