This doesn't have to be what ships with Firefox 5 or even 6, but this is the conceptually simplest and most useful for the class of people that I'm familiar with — Web Developers who want to test cutting-edge Firefox.

As a bonus, this avoids a lot of the problems we run into when trying to replace the application in-place, and makes it easy to test multiple builds.


I think the user that wants to suddenly switch his stable version of Firefox to Beta or Aurora doesn't really exist. I think the channel switcher has great value as a '''discovery mechanism''', but that doesn't mean we should replace the Firefox they're currently using with something else from under their feet.

Instead, I want us to move to a model where the channels are self-contained and standalone, and use Firefox Sync to bring over the data if people want it to be available.
