Balrog/DevelopmentInstance

We have an instance of Balrog deployed and regularly receiving data from all nightly builds. You can use it to update your Firefox or Fennec with the instructions below.

Firefox

Make the following changes in about:config

• Set app.update.url.override to

https://aus4-dev.allizom.org/update/3/%PRODUCT%/%VERSION%/%BUILD_ID%/%BUILD_TARGET%/%LOCALE%/%CHANNEL%/%OS_VERSION%/%DISTRIBUTION%/%DISTRIBUTION_VERSION%/update.xml

• Set app.update.log to True

Fennec

• Download a nightly build from Cedar.

Trouble Shooting

Not being offered updates

Firefox

1. Ensure app.update.log is True
2. Request an update again
3. Save off the log, and your value of app.update.url.override, and talk to the developers.

Fennec

1. Enable USB Debugging on your device and connect it to your computer
2. Run "adb logcat &> updates.log"
3. Start Fennec and check for updates.

Disabling Balrog for Firefox

If you find you can't take updates on a non-nightly channel, check that your profile isn't configured to use balrog. To disable:

1. Reset app.update.url.override
2. Reset app.update.log
3. Request an update again.
