Awful. Firefox is becoming a Google Chrome clone:

- Using the horrible fast version numbering
- Dropping support for advanced addons and using WebExtensions
- Dropping support for more Development releases like this one

I'm seriously thinking about making the switch. If I want a Google Chrome clone, I would rather be using Chrome.
Sad!

That would have a major impact on the Tor browser , which is Aurora based ( if I'm not mistaken )

I think it's ESR based
@brod56 Let's just see what happens. Empirical evidence is still the best indicator of success. Even experts are worse at predictions than chance. Mozilla is still a major force and they're the ones who have the data to make decisions and the share is significant enough to be reliable.
Developer becomes Beta instead.

You are absolutely right .... my mistake , and my apologies

I just did a little searching , and the Aurora based version is long gone ....

Latest TOR version is 6.5.1
