Beast hourly builds

Beast, the machine that produces official Firefox nightly builds for Windows, also produces hourly* builds. As far as I can tell, these builds are the same as the official nightly builds.

Since 242856 (slow image, text, view source rendering; temporary blank pages) and 242709/242494 (can't submit some forms) were fixed tfter today's official builds were made, it makes sense to download a Beast build today.

*Beast is part of the Firefox Tinderbox and builds Firefox continuously. Each build takes about an hour. Thus, the builds are roughly hourly.
