The program will support three "channels", Nightly, Monthly, and Stable. Today, we only have one of those channels fully supported.  
The program will support three "channels", Nightly, Monthly, and Stable. Today, we only have one of those channels fully supported.  


The Nightly channel provides testers with a daily snapshot of Firefox OS taken from the tip of Gecko and Gaia development, mozilla-central/master. This is the most unstable channel. Things break here pretty regularly but it's also where you get to see the new features and fixes first. To get this channel on your Flame, follow the instructions for updating your Flame to "Latest master builds" as described at the [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox_OS/Developer_phone_guide/Flame#Updating_your_Flame%27s_software MDN Flame page]. Once flashed, you will start receiving over the air updates on a daily basis.

TODO The second channel will be called "Monthly".  This channel will be updated once a month with a recent snapshot from mozilla-central/master that has been vetted by QA as basically functional.  This channel will provide testers with access to new features and fixes without the risk of a broken phone and with enough lead time that feedback can still be incorporated before the features get locked down. We will soon publish the first Monthly Firefox OS image. Mozilla's Product and QA teams will work with folks on this channel to understand quality and usability of new features both qualitatively and quantitatively through formal testing programs and surveys. To participate fully in this channel, testers will register as a Foxtrot participant and receive monthly calls to action via email.
