Anyone here using the Aurora channel? I've been looking over posts about Aurora at Mozillazine and it seems there's been a bit of confusion (merely rebranding?) but the icon is nice: https://mozorg.cdn.mozilla.net/media/img/firefox/channel/toggler-dev.png

I don't presently use this channel, I am not a tester but the picture you have posted is not that of Aurora. Unless it is a new icon, I don't know, but the fox logo just doesn't add up, as the Aurora browser is not yet called Firefox.

Here's the icon I am familiar with: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/de/b/b3/Mozilla_Firefox_Aurora_Logo_mit_Wortmarke.png

That icon linked appears to be for "Nightly". I am using "Nightly" on a daily basis (:-k ... that reads rather weird, :lol:) in Debian Wheezy.

Icons,

Nightly uses the dark blue (for night), Aurora (one meaning is "the first light of day", or "dawn") uses a mixture of orange/blue (I assume to indicate a "dawn").

To understand firefox builds ... from --here--, (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/970739) a description for nightly that also explains what "Aurora" is as well.


In order of development - some new features may come and go from channel to channel.


Nightly - Under heavy development. Least stable/secure. First tests of new changes/features; some changes/features introduced in Nightly may be removed before Release and other versions. Only for testing. Should only be used by very experienced users/testers.
Aurora - Still under development. More stable/secure than Nightly. Some bugs may still be present that need resolution. Should be used by experienced users only who can post/report reproducible problems and work around issues.
Beta - Final development stage before Release. Usually good stability/security. Major bugs resolved. Working out final bugs. Preview of what Release version will most likely contain in the way of changes/features, though some changes/features can still disappear before Release.
Release - Final channel released to public for everyday use.
