Setting about:config Preferences
Quick Note: Some of these are not listed in about:config and will need to be created manually
- experiments.activeExperiment
- Indicates if there's an experiment currently active/installed
- experiments.enabled
- Indicates if the experiments are currently enabled/disabled (enabled by default)
- experiments.logging.level
- Changing this to 0 will give you the ability to view the logs under the Browser Console. You'll have to enable Chrome and addon debugging. Please see the "Logging Document"
- experiments.force-sample-value
- The staging server uses a sample value that dictates what percentage of users will get the experiment, ensure this value matches the servers .JSON file or it will take you a very long time to retrieve the experiment from the server
- experiments.manifest.cert.checkAttributes
- If you're connecting to a development or local staging server, change this to false or the certificate authentication will fail when contacting the staging server
- experiments.supported
- Indicates if experiments are currently supported
- experiments.manifest.uri
- Points to the manifest .JSON file that will be used to download and set the experiment
