Mozilla Firefox Aurora for Windows

User Reviews

• I Hate It!!!

  SandiLuna5/18/2014

  Pros

  Less Customizations. More wasted space!

  Cons

  I used to have control over the features in Firefox.

  Summary

  I originally switched to Firefox because it allowed me to configure the toolbars and Icons. I want the address bar above the menu bar. I want to place a separate customized toolbar beneath it above my tabs. With my customizations it was faster and more convenient. Now I have to work within the confines of someone else's placement perceptions.

  farker13/8/2013

  Pros

  Stable, fast, plays well with my favourite add-ons (Adblock Plus and Greasemonkey), personas ...

  Still has a very serious memory leak

  Summary

  Would be perfect but for the memory leak. Will this ever be fixed?

• Aurora Took Over My Website

  muscleguitar2/2/2013

  Pros

  It's fast but.....

  Cons

  My 30 websites took over my account. Simple, we took over domain names and webhosting, and guess what? They posted a link to other websites.That's not right. AUTOMATIC INSTANT PERMANENT NO!!!!! NEVER AGAIN!!!

  Summary

  Forget it! Aurora They took over my websites. If Firefox 18 took over I'm going to cancel my account. This is serious business. Normally I could post a link to my hosting account, but they took over and posted a link to a different website. Aurora has been canceled, (and like I say, if Firefox 18 took over my website, I'll cancel too)

• As an early beta test bed, you can't be too critical

  jkirk162611/30/2012

  Pros

  Frequently updated for a change. In the bad old days that were as recent as 2010, FireFox didn't update itself often. They'd compile a huge list of fixes, but not issue the corrections for months in one massive dump. Now they've improved with lots of little improvements lots of times. Expect to see available updates several times a day.

  Cons

  These cons only apply to someone contemplating using this version as a daily driver; an early beta or alpha anything isn't a good choice for a functional do-real-work option. This is cutting edge see-if-this-works / what-will-this-do code for the curious. Using this with that in mind isn't a con.

  Summary

  This applies to Windows 8. Gmail won't load. The progress will almost complete, but will cease making progress and spin incessantly, never loading. Same with trying to login to CNET. It will pull down the "login to CNET" options, but not display the option to actually login with your CNET creds.

• So far ok, when they upgrade add ons will be better.

  KevinW423/26/2012

  Pros

  Downloaded it for more security.

  Cons

  Still is in beta form and they need to update there own add ons from Mozilla Firefox to work with this new Aurora version. Even there Feedback button doesnt work on this new version.

  Summary

  Overall, I much prefer any Mozilla product over Internet Explorer. Much less headaches way more security and peace of mind.

• Best experimental browser I have ever used.

  Chaoscrazy3/26/2012

  Pros

  Incredibly fast Relatively stable Great add-on capabilities Simple and comfortable design User friendly interface Good "private" mode Auto checks spelling

  Cons

  Updates are annoying prior to browser start

  Summary

  I enjoy using the best browsers out there (based on expert and user reviews). I believe a good browser should be very fast, innovative, and user-friendly. While google chrome (canary build) is very fast and user-friendly, it does not utilize add-ons as well as Aurora. In addition to the add-ons, I have compared speeds and Aurora is slightly faster than Chrome and WAY faster than IE9. Fantastic but just like any experimental browser it is unstable so a backup is HIGHLY recommended. Otherwise amazing experience and keep up the good work Firefox.
