- zanny 14y agoAurora is a good compromise. I was on nightly for a few months, and I had one or two times where something would break. Usually it was just a GUI element getting misaligned from some change. The worst was when it broke web video for a day. I wish there was a reliable Aurora channel on Arch. The pkgbuild system isn't well suited to keeping up to date with a moving filename target like Firefox.
- zobzu 14y agoI agree, nightly does break badly from time to time. Beta or aurora are better bets.
- ck2 14y agoI've switched to Aurora for the past month and it's noticeably faster than FF18b on my older hardware.
- zalew 14y agoI've used Aurora for some time, extensions often get borked or don't work, so I went back to Beta. btw one tip for people who switch to beta/aurora - disable extensions compatibility check.
- km3k 14y agoThere's an Arch developer named heftig who maintains a custom repository with Aurora. I've been using it successfully the last few months. I think aurora is updated daily, but I haven't watched it closely.
