Mozilla's Dev Channel Debuts Firefox Aurora


Somewhere between Firefox nightly and Firefox beta lies Firefox Aurora, Mozilla's first public browser under its new publishing schedule. Firefox Aurora is similar in many terms to the Google Chrome developer's channel which provides a place where users who don't mind browser instability can test out new features, and contribute feedback to the developers.

Mozilla is now running all of the browser builds that it mentioned in its blog post. Minefield- or the nightly test builds, the new Aurora and the beta build, which users who downloaded the Firefox 4 betas are still using despite there not being an official beta release at this time. It is the Firefox final release- the stable version of Firefox that most of its users have.

Currently, Mozilla Firefox Aurora 5.0a2 doesn't appear to offer anything different from Minefield or the stable release, but that will change as Mozilla pursues a release schedule similar to Google Chrome's six-week release cycle.
