Update Channel Selector

This extension allows you to change the update channel your application receives updates from. If you don’t understand what this means then read about update channels.

Be warned, this extension will allow you to change to an unstable update source. Unless you know what you’re doing I suggest you don’t use it. If you lose all your data because you accidentally update to an unstable version then don’t come running to me.

Please note that Mozilla do not provide automatic nightly updates for users of localised builds. Until those are provided this extension can only help you switch between the beta and release channels for such builds.

Update Channel Selector Install v1.0.3

Hello,

the Update Channel Selector version 1.0.3 is not compatible with Firefox 3.1b1pre.

There are beta Versions in Firefox 2. You can test the RCs for an updated like FF 2.0.0.13. You won’t get a major update.

Just installed on FF 2.0.0.13, restarted, then switched to beta channel, restarted again.
I get a ‘There are no new updates available’ when I check for updates.
Isn’t it supposed to update to FF 3.0b4 ?

Thanks for your help.

I agree with “Klint” that would bee nice, you can also create a link from addons.mozilla to this page…

Would it be possible to get updates on LOCALIZED nightlies? The extension seems to be useless if one does not use the English-US FF or TB versions (unless I miss something ;)!
