> Aurora is alpha
Excuse my ignorance, but is this official? I use FF Dev edition as my primary browser and it is very stable for me.
Context, if it helps: I am a web dev most of the time, and my browser usage is almost always >100 tabs or so. More than half of those have the devtools open all the time (each of which basically count as another instance of Firefox). My machine is pretty modest (i5, dual core, 8gigs RAM). I don't use many extensions though. Only a lightweight custom theme and greasemonkey + lots of custom userscripts.
Reason I use dev edition is because it has more devtools goodies and ES6 features. Nothing related to extension development.
- superkuh 11y agoIt's official. Aurora is explicitly alpha. When they bump the version number Nightly turns into Aurora turns into Beta turns into Release.
- awalGarg 11y agoWell I meant, do you happen to have a link stating that? :) > When they bump the version number Nightly turns into Aurora turns into Beta turns into Release. Not exactly. I guess you intentionally (over-)simplified that? Firefox actually follows trainspotting for their different release channels: https://hacks.mozilla.org/2015/04/trainspotting-firefox-37-developer-edition-and-more/ https://hacks.mozilla.org/2015/04/trainspotting-firefox-37-d...
- reubenmorais 11y agoThey are right. Here's a link: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Releases#Upcoming_Releases https://wiki.mozilla.org/Releases#Upcoming_Releases Aurora is alpha, but FWIW, I've been using Nightly as my main browser for over 4 years now without ever losing data, so Aurora should be more than fine.
