Basically: if you want to test Firefox 5, stick to the Aurora channel (for now). It'll all make more sense when all the channels get filled out.

In a few weeks, Fx7 dev will be on nightly, Fx6 stabilizing will be on Aurora, and Fx5 finalizing will be on beta ... we're a step behind that atm (Fx6 nightly, Fx5 aurora, beta unused).

And there's this:

The merge to Aurora 6.0 will happen on 2011-05-24.

It's pretty annoying how Aurora is getting updates each day, without there being anything updated.

This is the reasoning I could find:

Frequency of Aurora Builds

Original plan - we would only build if something had changed.

Changed to when we have changes on any locales if we are including them in the trigger, then we will build every night.

No change to plan but by nature of the many changes going in for locales we will end up building every night.

Things should speed up after a week or so when Aurora moves onto Fx 6.

Hm, but why do we have to install an update each day then? :p

Will that concern users staying on the Aurora channel?

aurora will remain aurora forever , u have to switch channel to get into beta or stable etc

Beta 1 should be released today (most probably) , for the time-being , we can see lil activity out here (with localized folder and all) , let's wait! :D

ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/nightly/5.0b2-candidates/build1/win32/en-US/Firefox Setup 5.0b2.exe

i presume this is firefox 5.0 beta 1, they have a test build labeled as beta 1 about 3 weeks ago so i presume they may be naming beta 1 as beta 2 or will be overwriting beta 1 later or something.

Just tried it, it has the new features such as .webm playback for urls and "do not track" in options etc, looking good :) it says 5.0 beta channel in the about section, so can't see if it is beta 1 or beta 2.

Changelog is here: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Features/Release_Tracking#Firefox_5

    • Hello, From looking at the screen shots in your motherboard's manual at https://endownload.colorful.cn/EnDownload/MotherBroard/2022/Intel 600/Manual/Intel 600 Series BIOS English/Intel 600 Series BIOS User Guide.pdf, you go to the ADVANCED option at the top of the BIOS (UEFI) menu, then select SECURITY in the list of options on the left.  From there  you can enable and set the Secure Boot mode.

    • Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is getting a simultaneous release across PC and all consoles by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Square Enix showed up to the Summer Game Fest presentation today with multiple trailers showing off its next chapter in the Final Fantasy VII Remake saga. The final chapter of this trilogy now has an official name too, with it being dubbed Final Fantasy VII Revelation, following up Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth from recent years. Vincent Valentine, Cid, Cloud, Barret, Tifa, and more showed up in the trailers as they battle against enemies, or 'Weapons,' from the final chapter. "As the world teeters on the brink of annihilation, the final battle against Sephiroth begins," says the trailer description. "A meteor mars the sky, monstrous planetary guardians wreak havoc across the globe, and the fires of war rage. Now, Cloud and his companions must stand against this chaos to not only decide the planet's fate, but bring a legendary conflict to its conclusion." Following the reveal trailer, the show also dropped some gameplay footage that shows off a new way to travel across the open world using the Highwind airship. Players will be able to swap characters on during battles, use tactical mode to synchronize with allies, and summon their entities. Cid Highwind and Vincent Valentine are joining the party this time too. “FINAL FANTASY VII, first released in 1997, has been beloved by fans for many years and has since become a “legend” in its own right," added producer Yoshinori Kitase. "The FINAL FANTASY VII Remake Series that began in 2020 with everyone’s passionate support is finally reaching its climactic finale with FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION. The story’s final destination represents my emotions spanning thirty years working on this title" One of the biggest revelations of this announcement, however, was the multiplatform release confirmation from the get-go. Square Enix will be releasing Final Fantasy VII Revelation across PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5 in Spring 2027 without any timed exclusivity programs.
    • Hello, Having a simple utility to allow Microsoft's customers to configure the context menu, with a few options like showing the current menu, showing a proposed menu/alternate configurations, loading and saving the settings, and a "reset to default" option would have solved this. Let Microsoft provide a recommended default look-and-feel, maybe a couple alternative configurations, like a basic/simplified version of that, and a more advanced version for that, and that would have been very well-received, I think. Microsoft could even had offered a library of different configurations, similar to what they have done in the past for Windows Media Player skins, Themes, and desktop wallpaper.

    • No Steam release. It's gonna fail on PC. Even an Epic Online engineer said that people go there for the free stuff and then immediately go back to Steam.
    • Nice. Admittedly, his other games never interested me, but this seems pretty cool.
