If you want to '''test or preview Firefox 89''', you can download a build from the Aurora channel. If you want to, you can install Aurora alongside the official released version of Firefox, and use both on the same device.
The Aurora channel provides an early preview of the next Firefox Beta release. Although Aurora is more stable than our nightly development builds, it is not yet fully tested and is not the same quality as official beta or release versions. Aurora will offer to update itself automatically about once a day, as we make improvements available.
