What is up with firefox?
What is the difference between
Firefox beta 6
Aurora 7
and nightly 8
im very confused
Michelle answers:
Release Candidate (RC), Beta, Aurora, and Nightly are Firefox’s different stages of development.
Nightly –> Aurora –> Beta –> Release Candidate (RC) –> Firefox
Firefox 6 beta will develop into Firefox 6 Release Candidate, and then into Firefox 6
Firefox Aurora 7 will develop into Firefox 7 beta, then it will develop into Firefox 7 Release Candidate, and then into Firefox 7
Firefox Nightly 8 will develop into Firefox Aurora 8, and then it will develop into Firefox 8 beta, then it will develop into Firefox 8 Release Candidate, and then into Firefox 8
George asks…
what is so good about firefox?
what is different about firefox then internet explorer?
Michelle answers:
Up until Internet Explorer 7, Firefox was tabbed while IE was not. They are both tabbed now.
The most important difference is security, as Internet Explorer is in my estimation the root of the vast majority of malware issues.
There is also more customizability for Firefox, with tons of user-created extensions. Internet Explorer is also a bit slow in drawing pages, although I wouldn’t exactly call Firefox lightning fast either.
However, I recommend other browsers about Firefox, such as K-Meleon (my top choice), Opera, or Orca. K-Meleon and Orca both run on the Gecko (Firefox) engine, but have a different layout and options, which as a result have them running more quickly than Firefox.

Firefox takes you to the same internet as any other browser.

Michelle answers:
Just update your firefox, don’t worry, your firefox history are safe
or
Download the newest version of firefox here:
http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/fx/#desktop
if Firefox already installed on your PC, when you double click the setup files, it will automatically update existing firefox installation. NO history or bookmark will removed.
Btw, you can always backup your history…
Click Firefox (up-left section) > History > Show All history > Import and Backup > Backup
