To increase the participation in and awareness of application's beta
programs and specifically Firefox's beta program we will be providing
the ability to change the application update channel within the
application. This will be an opt-in for each application.

The details in the wiki are by no means complete but they should provide
a place to start from

https://wiki.mozilla.org/Application_Update:Channel_Change
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=410639

Feedback / comments welcome with followups in dev-apps-firefox or the
wiki page's discussion page.

Cheers,

YESSS !

I had been looking for an extension to do that, but found none :-(
It forces a full update automatically ?

On channel change a complete update will be downloaded.
