Is it safe using Firefox Nightly?

I used to, but the release schedule sped up so much I didn't see much point. I never had many problems running it though.
 
YMMV. Most builds will probably be ok but there's always the chance that something will be broken.

I don't know if Firefox has something like Chrome's release channels but on Chrome the beta channel is pretty damn stable and doesn't get updated on a daily basis. If Firefox has something like that I would probably recommend that over nightly builds. If you want to be on the bleeding edge then I would recommend the most bleeding edge channel that isn't doing daily builds if such a thing exists with Firefox.
 
If you're worried about safety, I would suggest using either Chrome or Edge. Firefox comes in behind those two when it comes to security and vulnerability.

Of are you talking about stability?
 
I agree here - I think you'd be best off with the beta channel.

The only reason I would use a non-release version browser would be to test to see if a particular issue has definitely been fixed.

Not to mention all the bother of making sure that a nightly build is safe in its casket before sun-up.
