'''Week of January 5''' - Leading up to the uplift of 35 to release, we again reduce the throttle to 10% ({{Bug|1118312}}). Note that the throttle acts as a ratchet: once active, the service remains active. Reducing the throttle will not cause the feature to disappear from 34 browsers.

'''Approximately January 15 - February 15''' - Repeat the throttle increase process described above. (20%: January 22, {{Bug|1124908}}; 40%: February 17, {{Bug|1133106}}; 100%: February 19 {{Bug|1134230}}).


'''Approximately February 15''' - {{Bug|1073218}} should land in Firefox 36, which will be in release around this date. We still want to give people time to upgrade before leaving users on 35 without a button in the default toolbar; one release cycle should be long enough.

'''Approximately March 30''' - Remove the throttle DNS record.
'''Date TBD''' - Remove the throttle DNS record. There is very little cost to keeping the DNS record around, but we don't want it to linger indefinitely. Once the percentage of users on Firefox 35 drops to an inconsequential level, we can pull this record out.


''If you'd like to keep an eye on the throttle without having to jump through several hoops, you can install [https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/53717247/loopthrottle-0.0.1.xpi the simple Firefox and Thunderbird Add-On] that I created to keep tabs on the value. It's a bit of a hack, in that it requires you to drag the display out of the customize palette to whereever you want it to be, and then to restart the browser before it starts working.''
