Nightly is too unstable and beta is too late. Aurora was a more nuanced release, where it had some stability, while still had features that were long before beta appearance.
- nnethercote 10y agoI run Nightly on all my machines, and in my experience its stability is good. YMMV, of course.
- abrowne 10y agoI had used Beta for years, mostly on Mac, but recently I switched full-time to Ubuntu. I wanted some Gtk+3 updates that were only in Nightly, and now I've been using it for several months with a couple of crashes I can remember.
- cpeterso 10y agoMozilla has some projects in place to try to improve Nightly stability and catch regressions sooner. Chrome's Dev channel is a nice middle ground: Dev is just a ~weekly known-good snapshot of the Canary (Nightly) channel that has received some QA. Chrome Dev and Canary have the same major version number.
- dralley 10y agoI'm not sure what "beta is too late" even means, considering that it now occupies the exact position that Aurora did, that you claim is a sweet spot.
