Individual users should use standard Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition. It is intended for groups who deploy and maintain the desktop environment in large organizations such as universities and other schools, county or city governments and businesses and the developers who support them. It is always a different version than Stable according to our ESR release schedule. In April 2011, the development process was split into several "channels", each working on a build in a different stage of development.Mozilla Firefox® ESR, Portable Edition is the Extended Support Release of the popular Mozilla Firefox web browser bundled with a launcher as a portable app, so you can take your browser, bookmarks and passwords with you. The most recent available build is called "Nightly Builds" and offers the latest, untested features and updates. The "Aurora" build is up to six weeks behind "Nightly" and offers functionality that has undergone basic testing. As of version 35, the "Aurora" channel has been renamed to the "Developer Edition" channel. The "Beta" channel is up to six weeks behind the "Aurora" build, for up to about twelve weeks compared to the most recent "Nightly" build. The "Beta" channel provides improved stability over the "Nightly" builds and is the first development milestone that has the "Firefox" logo. "Release" is the current official version of Firefox. Gecko version numbering is the same as the Firefox build version number, starting with 5.0 on Firefox 5. The stated aim of this faster-paced process is to get new features to users faster. This accelerated release cycle was met with criticism by users, as it often broke add-on compatibility, as well as those who believe Firefox was simply trying to increase its version number to compare with other browsers such as Google Chrome. Firefox 5 through 9įirefox 5 was released on June 21, 2011, three months after the major release of Firefox 4. Firefox 5 is the first release in Mozilla's new rapid release plan, matching Google Chrome's rapid release schedule and rapid version number increments. Firefox 5 has significantly improved the speed of web-related tasks, such as loading pages with combo boxes or MathML.
Mozilla also integrated the HTML5 video WebM standard into the browser, allowing playback of WebM videos.
