Mozilla has taken the first major step in its new browser release schedule and transitioned Firefox 5 from its initial mozilla-central to the new aurora channel where the browser will be brought up to beta status.
The first Aurora release is still labeled as version 4.2a1pre and is not likely to change its version number to version 5.0 until it will go into beta on May 17. Mozilla said that it will also create the first Firefox 6.0 build today for mozilla-central, but has not done so yet. The Aurora builds for Linux, Mac and Windows were posted between 4 and 6 am PST this morning.
There aren’t any visible changes compared to Firefox 4.0 yet and we do not anticipate to see any of the upcoming GUI changes until mid May or shortly before the beta release arrives. It appears that Mozilla is pretty busy with this new release schedule so we expect that some previously mentioned GUI upgrades will be moved to Firefox 6 and 7.
However, Mozilla has to make sure that it regularly upgrades not just the version number, but also Firefox’ features, given Chrome’s crazy development pace. Firefox 5 is set for a June 21 release.
