What happened to Aurora? It suddenly became Firefox Developer Edition on my computer. My bookmarks and addons all disappeared.

I think Aurora updated before I turned off my computer. When I booted up again, Firefox Developer Edition appeared in place of Aurora. My bookmarks and addons all disappeared.

From looking at the downloads website it looks like developer edition has indeed replaced aurora. So aurora is no more, except for the android version. I'm surprised that bookmarks and addons disappeared. If you use firefox sync you would be able to get them back by signing into it. I would imagine the logic is that mozilla thought the only reason to use aurora would be if you were testing new html features.
