→Launch Day: Added instructions for Snap releases
== Launch Day ==
* '''Schedule push to esr at 100% (ship-it).''' Go-Live time is usually 6am PT on launch day, but this can be done ahead of time with a scheduled rule change in Balrog. Unlike non-ESR Firefox releases, ESR releases go out at 100% from day 1 rather than a staged rollout.
* '''Release Ubuntu's snap to the main ESR population.''' This '''cannot''' be done on the WebUI. Supposing you have docker installed on your machine, run the following commands:
docker run -ti snapcore/snapcraft:stable
snapcraft release firefox $SNAP_REVISION esr/stable
snapcraft close firefox esr/candidate
$SNAP_REVISION is number that can be found at https://dashboard.snapcraft.io/snaps/firefox/. Closing "esr/candidate" will move the users to the "esr/stable" channel. They will get back to "esr/candidate" the day we reopen it.
* '''Make release notes live.''' There is a 15-20min lag between making the change in Nucleus and the live website picking up this change, so plan to do this 15-30min prior to go-live.
* '''Signoff on scheduled rule change in Balrog.''' Assuming that the change is scheduled for 6am PT, this can be signed off ASAP to avoid unnecessary delays at go-live time.
