Hi, this plugin seems great but I have a problem.

I can change the update channel as it shows as changed in the about box, but it says there is no update when checking for updates.

I am on 10.0.7 esr version, and I assume the release channel will push down v15 but it says no update available.

Unfortunately the Channel Switch feature has been removed in FF5 release, so this extension would be useful again. Unfortunately it doesn’t work yet with FF5.

Until then look here for manual channel switching instructions:

Would like to use the Update Channel Selector to change the channel from beta to nightly in Firefox 4 Beta 4 (Mac OS X). Any chance the Update Channel Selector will be updated?

Otherwise, a way to do this manually? Already changed the about:config setting of app.update.channel to nightly to no avail. Should I update app.update.url or the values that get read into it? I.e.: https://aus2.mozilla.org/update/3/%PRODUCT%/%VERSION%/%BUILD_ID%/%BUILD_TARGET%/%LOCALE%/%CHANNEL%/%OS_VERSION%/%DISTRIBUTION%/%DISTRIBUTION_VERSION%/update.xml

I am using Mozilla “Seamonkey” “Nightly Build”, Build identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:2.0b5pre) Gecko/20100825 SeaMonkey/2.1b1pre , and it won’t install. I would greatly appreciate it if you could do the same for the next version of Update Channel Selector, as I found your little addon useful sometimes. Thank you.

I am using Mozilla “Seamonkey” “Nightly Build”, Build identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.3a5pre) Gecko/20100602 SeaMonkey/2.1a2pre , and it won’t install. I see some other extensions recently modified to have “Updated max SeaMonkey version to 2.1a2.” I would greatly appreciate it if you could do the same for the next version of Update Channel Selector, as I found your little addon useful sometimes. Thank you.

Please make this extension compatible with SeaMonkey 2.0.x.

Doesn’t work properly on 3.7a. Tells user they don’t have permission to change the source.

This extension works on SM2.0.2 if extensions.checkCompatibility turns false. Please update maxVersion for up to date.

Thanks. This is a nice extension because without it, it can be a pain to figure out how to properly correct an erroneous update channel or, of course to change to a different channel.

I just noticed that Update Channel Selector 1.5 does not provide the drop down box under Tools > Advanced > Update > Automatically check for updates to: in T-bird 3.0 to select the update channel there. This drop down is available in Firefox up to 3.7a1pre.

On my wish would be to add an Options interface so that users can also have that way to select a different or correct an erroneous update channel.
