    I am also experiencing the same issue as the other two gentlemen. I have added the PPA but in my package manager the standard version of mozilla (51.0.1) is appearing instead of aurora (53.0.1)

    I’m having the same problem as Allan. Some notes on this would be much appreciated.

    I tried installing the developer edition of firefox using the commands listed in this article, but it only installed the standard version of firefox. I tried purging the standard edition then re-running these commands, but again, it installed the standard edition.

    What might I be doing wrong?
