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.

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 ?

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.

      I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.

      The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.

      I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
