Pros

  • On the benefit list is the ability of a user to access and actually utilize the latest innovations through the Firefox Aurora channel. Through this process, a user is ahead of the pack when it comes to these innovations.
  • On a related note, Firefox Aurora is designed to permit consumers or users the ability to provide feedback to the developer about these various innovations. This feedback can provide assistance in refining and enhancing a particular innovation. Of course, in the end, the feedback process benefits consumers as well as Mozilla.
  • An individual who has used Firefox in the past will find Firefox Aurora familiar, and very much so. Firefox Aurora presents a similar interface. The interface associated with Firefox Aurora is clean, straightforward and easy to use -- a proverbial piece of cake for a person with experience on the traditional Firefox browser.
  • Firefox Aurora is easy both to download and install. The process takes all of a few minutes in most cases. In addition, Firefox Aurora is not a resources hog once installed. Finally, unlike some free applications, Firefox Aurora is easy to uninstall as well.
  • Another benefit of Firefox Aurora is that it is a free application, with no hidden charges or adware accompanying a download.

Cons

  • Perhaps the most notable negative aspect of Firefox Aurora (at this time) is its limited ability to customize things like the toolbar. When users switch from the traditional Firefox browser to Firefox Aurora, they loss all interface customizations. They cannot be restored on Firefox Aurora.
  • An inherent potential problem with Firefox Aurora (and any similar "testing" application centers on an innovation that does not make the cut. The risk exists that a user will find an innovation that he or she very much likes, an innovation that ends up not being carried beyond the Aurora presentation phase. If that occurs, the innovation will likely end up unavailable to a use at some juncture in the future.
