Semtex Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 But it is already on ftp and here: http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/5.0b1/ But in past, even when some beta was still in nightly stage we could download and test beta candidates in native lang....

Semtex Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 I couldn't edit my post... Looks like this beta1 on ftp is only for test updates channels, Mozilla want check how will work switching between Aurora and Beta, official b1 will be at 17 May ;) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/980176-meet-firefox-50/page/16/#findComment-593958452 Share on other sites More sharing options...
torrentthief Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 beta1 on the ftp is the same build as beta1 build 1 that they put on their servers about 1 week ago.

The_Decryptor Veteran Posted May 5, 2011 Veteran Share Posted May 5, 2011 Beta 1 is weeks off, what you're seeing is just a test build (It's actually a week old Aurora build with different branding I think) It's not an early release or anything like that, it's just there to test how their scripts work out.

Kirkburn Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 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).

Jamushroom Veteran Posted May 16, 2011 Veteran Share Posted May 16, 2011 It's pretty annoying how Aurora is getting updates each day, without there being anything updated.

vasa1 Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 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. Source: near the bottom here ... https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Aurora/2011-05-03 Things should speed up after a week or so when Aurora moves onto Fx 6.

Guest mattburles Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 i dont see the beta available officially for download? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/980176-meet-firefox-50/page/16/#findComment-593995130 Share on other sites More sharing options...
vasa1 Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 i dont see the beta available officially for download? It's all a bit confusing to those not really into this stuff :( I guess just the "merge" has been done. The official update release maybe pending something being done about add-on compatibility. This is just my wild guess. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/980176-meet-firefox-50/page/16/#findComment-593995176 Share on other sites More sharing options...

torrentthief Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 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.

DexMorgan Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Finally my preferred channel is up :) FX 5 Beta looking good so far, seems to be a bit faster.
