Ability to change the application’s update channel

November 17th, 2009 by rstrong

To increase the participation in and awareness of application’s beta programs and specifically Firefox’s beta program we will be providing the ability to change the application update channel within the application. This will be an opt-in for each application.

The details in the wiki are by no means complete but they should provide a place to start from

wiki Application Update:Channel Change
Bug 410639 – Provide ability to change update channel within the application

Feedback / comments welcome preferably either in the dev-apps-firefox newsgroup / mail list or the wiki page’s discussion page though you can just respond in this blog if you prefer.
