* Notes: | |||
** If you use the nightlies, you will not get the channel switcher UI unless you first proactively go and download a build for release, beta or aurora. | |||
** The branding on the product (right logos) will not appear when you simply switch channels, you need to actually get a build and restart to see the new logos ie: logo on about dialog will not change. | |||
** There is a hack in place to test the mechanism. Go to about:config and there's a pref app.update.desiredChannel. If you set this to different channel than you are on, you can verify you made the switch. Once you get a real update, the pref disappears. | |||
