Is anyone running Aurora on Ubuntu from their PPA? Does it replace regular Firefox or installs under a different name/path? How rampant are the incompatibility issues with add-ons?

Not running it in Ubuntu, but used to run it on Arch. Or should be given a new executable, firefox-aurora. As for add-ons, most developers seem to mark comparability for future versions, so you shouldn't have to worry too much. You can always edit them to say they're compatible with the version of Firefox you're running and see if they have issues.

I'm running Aurora from Ubuntu PPA (but on Linux Mint). Absolutely no issues. Yes, it replaces regular Firefox. Add-on compatibility is excellent though; can't remember any addon causing me trouble whatsoever. I'm currently on Firefox 23 from Aurora channel.

It's installed under a different name: firefox-trunk. It does not replace the existing firefox.
