自 4/18 開始，Firefox 釋出頻道中的 Aurora 將要正式退役了。屆時 Firefox 54 會從 Aurora 頻道進入 Beta，但 Firefox 55 將在 Nightly 頻道上多停留一個週期。

Aurora 釋出頻道於 2011 年 Firefox 5 轉向 Rapid Release 開發模式時開始導入，於 2014 年改以 Developer Edition 品牌發布。

今後 Developer Edition 將會自動轉移到 Beta 頻道，Android 上的 Aurora 則會自動轉移成 Nightly 版。

另一個相對應的變化是，今後新功能將在 Nightly 開發測試，直至品質足夠穩定才合併入 Beta 頻道。

There's a growing debate about the role of zero rating approaches to provide Internet access. This discussion thread is intended to unearth the various viewpoints so that the community can get a better understanding of the issue. What are the benefits and draw backs of zero rating? How does zero rating impact net neutrality? And what alternate approaches can we develop that maintain and advance a free and open Web?

近來 Mozilla 政策倡議專案及印度社群成員，對於 Facebook 在印度（及迦納、尚比亞、哥倫比亞、肯亞…等國家）透過 Internet.org 專案所推廣的「Zero-Rating」方案，有不少相關的討論。

Zero Rating 專案是一個特殊的手機上網費率，使用特定通訊商的用戶，只要透過 Internet.org Android App 上網，即可免通訊費瀏覽包括 Facebook 及 Wikipedia 等數十個網站。這個方案雖能有效的讓無法負擔行動網路的人連上網路，接受更多資訊，但又會讓他們有被圍困在 Facebook 與 Internet.org 所主導、定義的「網路免費小圈圈」的危機。

歡迎大家關注 Mozilla Advocacy 討論區，並加入 Netpolicy 郵件群組（ https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/netpolicy ），一起討論 Mozilla 應當如何應對此一有害於網路中立性的專案，又該如何回應那些深切期待能連上網路的數十億人的期許之相關討論。
