Aurora used to be a separate pre-beta, post-nightly release channel:

    Release <--- Beta <--- Aurora <--- Nightly
In 2014, we rebranded Aurora builds to "Developer Edition" to give it better visibility and ship experimental features that we thought would be interesting to web and add-on developers.

Earlier this year, we sped up our time-to-release by removing Aurora from the pipeline, but we kept it as a separate channel roughly at parity with Beta:

    Release <--- Beta <--- Nightly
               Aurora <--'
Which is where things are today.

Thanks for the reply sir. I have one more question. I was very excited to use quantum, so ended up using developer edition. I am using it on my macOS High Sierra.

The battery usage and Energy impact that I observed from Activity Monitor application in macOS was very surprising.

Both parameters were quite high and the battery was draining very quickly. I don't have the screenshot. I tried searching for a solution like tinkering the about:config fields etc. but couldn't find any.
