If you want to '''test or preview Firefox 17''', 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 builds are more stable than our nightly development snapshots, they are not yet fully tested like our official beta and release versions.  Aurora will offer to update itself automatically about once a day, as we make improvements and fixes.
