Is Aurora out of the picture now, or will it replace firefox? I'm using it right now and I love the name and feel of it since it feels like firefox.

Aurora is the name of one of the channels and is not tied to any one version.

Currently the versions on each channel is 

Release = 8.0.1
Beta = 9.0.b5
Aurora = 10.0a2
Nightly = 11.a1

When Firefox 9.0 is on Release channel the 10.a2 will move/merge to Beta channel as 10.0b1 and the 11.0a1 will start move/merge process to the Aurora channel as 11.0a1 within a few days. Then the version 12.0a1 will start on the Nightly channel. This process will start as early as December 20.

Aurora gets update patches every 1 to 3 or so days whenever there are checkins while the Nightly gets checkins everyday and sometimes has a respin.

The Aurora and more so the Nightly channels are meant more for testers and devs and not regular Firefox users.
