It was removed as of Firefox 5.0 beta 3 if I recall. While it may have seem to be handy for some there were more disadvantages, especially with newer Firefox users.

You can still change the channel with some effort.

   Exit Firefox.
   Open <installation folder>\defaults\pref (for example C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\pref).
   Open the channel-prefs.js file, preferably in a text editor that can understand UNIX line breaks, like Notepad++. Regular Notepad should work just as well, though the text will look messed up.
Edit the appropriate line as follows:

pref("app.update.channel", "beta");

Save and close the file.

The "switch" to change channels is gone. It was an experimental feature that didn't work out as intended and it was removed a couple of months ago.

Download the Beta, uninstall Aurora and install the Beta.

Do you happen to know why was this feature removed? I think it was really handy. :/ thank you for your answer!
