Quick Summary

The following document quickly explains how a user can edit the .JSON file and change the target browser channel.

Changing Browser Channels

You can change the experiments browser channel by going through the following steps:

  • Open your firefox-manifest.json file under the telemetry experiment folder
  • You'll need to change the following value: "channel": ["nightly"]
    • Examples: Aurora: "channel": ["aurora"], BETA: "channel": ["beta"]

You'll receive a similar error message as shown below if there's a channel mismatch:
