If you want to '''test or preview Firefox 1112''', 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.

If you are actively developing or testing Firefox features that are not yet released to the Aurora or Beta channels, you can download a Nightly build. You may install and use Nightly alongside builds from other channels (Firefox, Beta, Aurora).
The nightly channel is a snapshot of our very latest development work, before it is ready for widespread testing. This is our least stable update channel, and is not recommended for most users. Nightly builds provide an early preview of work that will eventually be included in Firefox 12 13 or later. Nightly will offer to update itself automatically about once a day with the latest changes from our developers.
See the '''[[#ReadMe: Native UI Builds|ReadMe]]''' below about information regarding the new Native builds available on the Nightly channel.
Download instructions:
# Check the '''[[#System Requirements|system requirements]]''' below to see if Nightly is compatible with your Android device. # Download the nightly build directly onto your Android device by scanning the barcode to the right, or by entering the URL in your device's web browser.
# Open the "apk" file when it finishes downloading.

Fennec Native uses the same storage for bookmarks and history (but not for passwords) as the default Android browser (and some other 3rd party Android browsers). If you have chosen to backup application data on your device, this bookmark and history data may be backed up to Google's servers. This is a change from previous versions of Fennec, where data was stored internally to Fennec and only synced off device if the user chose to use Mozilla Sync.

=== Tablet Users ===
The native UI is designed mainly for phones. Firefox 10 for mobile which includes UI designed specifically for tablets, is available on the [[#Download Firefox for Android|release channel]]. We will bring tablet-specific features to the native UI in a future version.
You can also help us test upcoming versions of the tablet UI on the Aurora or Nightly channels by downloading one of these packages onto your Android tablet:
* [http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mobile/nightly/latest-mozilla-aurora-android-xul/fennec-12.0a2.multi.android-arm.apk Aurora (Firefox 12) tablet version]
* [http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mobile/nightly/latest-mozilla-central-android-xul/fennec-13.0a1.multi.android-arm.apk Nightly (Firefox 13) tablet version]
<font color=red>'''Note:'''</font> Automatic updates for the Aurora and Nightly tablet builds are not yet working -- they will update to the non-tablet version instead ({{bug|712678}}). Until this is fixed, you will need to update these tablet versions manually. Or you can use [[#Download Firefox Beta|Firefox Beta]] from the Android Market, which will auto-update correctly.
