So is the aurora build officially out now? Do we just update within the nightly build, or is it a separate download?

As mentioned in this thread, you cannot upgrade or downgrade from a nightly, which must be installed separately. To answer your question, aurora builds are out and can be downloaded form this trunk: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/tinderbox-builds/mozilla-aurora-win32/

Mod please include above link in OP so it is easy to access.

So this build should be updated weekly?

Official updates will be pushed out weekly once you have any of aurora builds installed. I would assume that they will likely compile multiple aurora builds in between each update to add in the changes and fixes from the nightly build for the next update. These "unofficial" builds will probably be uploaded into the trunk for anyone to download, but it would defeat the purpose of utilizing a separate channel from the nightly.

So the aurora build that was posted today is an unofficial build? If so, any idea when the first official aurora build will be out?

No, just pick any of the builds posted today and you are set to receive the weekly updates from now on.

I was just speaking in general that you might notice that more builds will be posted in that download trunk over time and you don't have to download those. Just wait for the update to come automatically once a week.

I was at school , lol , back now , creating new thread right away

updated OP with download links to different branches , created new thread Meet Firefox 6.0

Also i request mods that please dont keep this syntax : Meet Firefox X.X (BLABLABLA) ,but rather just Meet Firefox X.X , coz the thread is relevant for all stages of Firefox X.X and not just one part of it say (beta 10)

TI will be in Firefox 5 ?

no , its not even in trunk lately , and erm , m sorry , that was an accidental benchmark

BTW This thread will be used for ONLY FIREFOX 5.0 DISCUSSION , i.e. the 5.0 auroras > 5.0 betas > 5.0 rcs > 5.0 Final . For Firefox trunk / nightly discussion use Meet Firefox 6.0

On a side note , MODS ,should we continue with this stuff? Can't we now have Meet Firefox Nightly , Meet Firefox Aurora and Meet Firefox Stable ?

    • Google are hyprocrites for signing this. They have been pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft, only they do it on Android and ChromeOS.
    • In some countries the law has forced Microsoft to display a menu on a fresh install of Windows which asks which web browser you want and it will install that browser. This doesn't add any bloat to Windows. It simply an additional step when setting up a new PC.
    • Chrome is also a first party browser on Android and ChromeOS. And on those systems, Google is pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft does on Windows.
    • Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account by Sayan Sen Microsoft has been steadily evolving the Windows Insider Program over the years, introducing new channels and testing paths that allow enthusiasts to experience upcoming and yet-to-be-released Windows features (some interesting hidden ones too) before they reach the public. However, one long-standing requirement has remained largely unchanged as users are generally expected to enroll in the Program and with a Microsoft account. That's where a third-party tool called "OfflineInsiderEnroll" can help. OfflineInsiderEnroll is said to be a lightweight script that enables access to Windows Insider Program builds on systems that are not signed in with a Microsoft account. Essentially the tool configures the necessary Insider settings locally and hence allows users to select and switch between available preview channels while continuing to receive builds through the normal Windows Update channel. If you are wondering how it manages to do so, it is made possible by a Registry value known as TestFlags. When configured to"0x20", Windows stops communicating with Microsoft's online Insider enrollment services thus preventing locally configured Insider settings from being overwritten. This allows the script to apply its own channel configuration directly through the Registry as Windows Update does not verify whether a device has been officially enrolled in the Insider Program or not. Previously the utility has had already supported the traditional Insider branches including Dev, Beta, and Release Preview. However following Microsoft’s recent restructuring of its preview channels, the script has now been updated. The latest OfflineInsiderEnroll version, 2.6.6, adds support for the newly introduced Insider channel lineup. As such, users can now choose from several Experimental channels in addition to Beta and Release Preview options. The update also retains tools for refreshing the Insider cache, resetting Insider settings, and completely stopping Insider enrollment when needed. Keep in mind though that will need elevated privileges when running the script (run as Admin). You can get the latest version of OfflineInsiderEnroll from this page on its official GitHub repo.
    • The "Classic" Outlook has done that for a few years as well. The option to even change that is really hidden away too... It really shouldn't be hard to respect user defaults. Sadly we are the product now, not Outlook. To change in the Classic Outlook: File > Options > Advanced > change "Open hyperlinks from Outlook in"
