Fennec (Firefox) Aurora and Nightly

    Following the Mozilla Foundation’s transition to four-channel development with the release of Firefox 5 alpha 2 and Firefox 6 alpha 1 , the Fennec browser (code name for Firefox Mobile versions under development) also pulled in. Thus, as the successors of Firefox Mobile 4, Fennec Aurora and Fennec Nightly became available, and in the future Fennec Beta will appear.

    Currently, the Fennec Aurora branch contains Firefox Mobile 5 code, and Fennec Nightly contains Firefox Mobile 6, and by the time Firefox 5 is ready to go to the Beta channel (i.e., in a few weeks), Firefox will replace Nightly Mobile 7.

    PS Adobe Flash Player still does not work in any edition of Firefox Mobile , this is known, and Mozilla is trying to solve this problem as quickly as possible.
    PPS If someone from Mozilla Russia reads this, please recommend that your Firefox Mobile colleagues post all three additional Fennec branches in the Android Market, possibly removing the browser update function through its menu. This will more seamlessly integrate Firefox into the Android ecosystem than the constant calls to the Mercurial repository.
