Firefox Aurora for Android 16
Test drive the next Mozilla mobile browser with Firefox Aurora for Android

The pace of web browser developed has increased dramatically in recent months. Not only as a results of an ever more demanding user base, but also because of increased competition between browser producers. Things have reached such a point that even Microsoft is releasing public beta versions of upcoming Internet Explorer versions. When it comes to Firefox, there are now three separate versions of the browser to choose from.

For day to day web browsing there is the stable release channel. This is the most recent completed version of Firefox that is recommended for the majority of people. For anyone who wants to take a sneak peek at the next version of the browser, there is the beta channel. Beta releases are Firefox are generally pretty stable and include new features and enhancements, but they are not perfect and you may encounter occasional problems.

Finally, there is the Aurora channel and this can be viewed as being alpha, rather than beta, software. Aurora builds of Firefox are available for the mobile Android platform as well as desktops and it gives users a chance to try out new features and technologies long before a final release. This is the first appearance of Firefox Aurora on Android and for anyone who wants to keep on the cutting edge of web browsers, it is well worth a look.

The is the brand new Aurora 16 for Android. View the Release Notes.

Verdict:

An exciting preview of what to expect from future Firefox releases, but not stable enough to recommend for day to day use.

Ashampoo Burning Studio 2013 (v11.0.6)

Free Full Commercial Software

Ashampoo Burning Studio 2013 is a compact, simple, but surprisingly feature-packed disc burning suite.

The program makes it easy to create simple data discs and audio CDs, for instance: just drag and drop your files onto the list area and you'll be burning the finished disc in a couple of clicks.

That's just the start, though. Burning Studio 2013 can also create data discs with customised, interactive multi-page menus, perfect if you'd like a more professional way to share and present the disc contents.

A built-in backup tool allows you to create backups which may be encrypted, compressed, and span several CDs, DVDs and Blu-rays.

And there are modules to create VCD or SVCD video projects; burn video DVDs or Blu-ray discs from prepared folders; create, browse or burn disc images (ISO, CUE/ BIN and Ashdisc formats are supported); copy discs, erase them, design and print disc covers, labels and booklets, and more.

The focus throughout is on ease of use, though, and so Ashampoo Burning Studio 2013 remains very straightforward, whatever you're doing. Most disc projects are created via the same simple interface, and for the most part all you have to do is drag and drop the necessary files. But experts will find more advanced options are only a click away, and if you need to then you can set ISO and UDF version, enable Joliet, make a disc bootable and more.

Note the download here will take you to the Downloadcrew Software Store where you can download Burning Studio 2013.
