Bad timing on the naming... Aurora?
Firefox Aurora has existed for the last few years. It's their preview release of stuff, equivalent to Chrome Canary.
Yes, but in light of the current events, you'd think it'd be changed.
Why, this is a browser, not some evil plot? They could dedicate it if they wanted to.
No, but at the same time, it's just respectful to not keep the codename of a project that is related to such a tragic event.
My heart goes out to the victims and their families of the Aurora incident.
However, "Aurora" as a name is simply too common to be replaced.
