+say Aurora?</a></h3>
+
+<p>
+We build Firefox from source in order to include our <a
+href="https://gitweb.torproject.org/torbrowser.git/tree/maint-2.2:/src/current-patches">Firefox
+privacy fixes</>. The default Firefox build process calls the resulting
+browser "Aurora".
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Don't be confused into thinking the browser you
+see is the same as the Firefox pre-releases that
+were also named Aurora. A future TBB release will <a
+href="https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/2176">probably</a>
+have a more recognizable name like "Tor Browser".
