"This was generally rejected due to alpha having existing connotations. Aurora could be crashier than an alpha. Also, it is better to talk about Aurora as a separate entity rather than an alpha of Firefox (which is why the branding is different)." http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.dev.planning/msg/81055a18fa8ddfe6 http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.dev.planning/msg/8105...
