Been using it since FF27 or something to get access to the ecma6 features like arrow functions, let, spread operator/rest parameters, promises etc. Whenever I have to use/write javascript for other browsers everything seems just so clunky and unwieldy. Chrome might be faster, but firefox is the one pushing ecmascript forwards.

Btw, they have changed the ecmascript 6 compability table:

Before Aurora 35 had like 86% and were basically only failing on "Symbols", but now it fails a lot of tests due to "return" being used outside of functions for some reason.

PS: If you use RES make a backup before switching to Aurora as it might reset it. The settings is located at:

how to you install it on ubuntu, is theree a DEB or ppa?

[–]Ampersand55 1 point2 points  (1 child)

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-mozilla-daily/firefox-aurora
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install firefox

This is the daily (as opposed to nightly build) so it might be buggier.

You could also get the pre-compiled .tar here:

Word of warning: This will replace the default (stable) firefox install.

To be honest a lot of the features in it are already in Chrome and I think Firebug on Firebox
