Firefox 5 and New Channels for Firefox Rapid Releases

Mozilla  launched Aurora, a semi-stable dev build of Firefox. 
Mozilla's always had nightly (Minefield) and beta builds that users could test drive, but Aurora adds a release that lives between the nightly build (now simply called Nightly) and the beta build. Aurora is a bleeding edge release that updates every six weeks, but it also undergoes some QA before updating, making Aurora more stable than Nightly—and a browser that power users might realistically use as their default.

Mozilla Firefox is moving to a rapid release development cycle to deliver new features, performance enhancements, security updates and stability improvements to users faster.

  • Nightly test builds – Includes features not tested by Mozilla QA
  • Firefox Beta – Broadly test the stability of new features and improvements in the next version of Firefox
  • Firefox Final Release – Delivers the polished and stable features in Firefox to hundreds of millions of users.
