Automatic updates for Firefox 10 Nightly Windows (x32 and x64) builds had been temporally disabled earlier this week due to start up crashes with ‘Windows 8’ [Bug 695161]. It appears this issue has been corrected on 10/20/11 and quite possibly by the time this article is published, users will be able to update via Help > About Nightly. If the automatic updates are still not functioning you can always update manually by downloading the latest trunk build here.

FYI: AFAIK, only Win64 Nightly updates were affected. I had no problems with updating Win32 Nightly nightlies.
Interesting. I didn’t even try on the 32-bit as I don’t use that one much. I was just going to say is was only affecting the 64-bit builds, but the bug made me believe that it was all Windows builds. I just checked and updated both.
I take that back, got a ‘Download failed’ on both the 32-bit and 64-bit with a link to the manual download page.
You may want to try, first, clearing the caches on each. Then, download and install builds from, say, a week ago. Once installed, try updating each from within (using Check for Updates on the about window).
Note: I am assuming you download the .exe install files for Nightly like I do.
