A "Channel Manager" extension that offers a UI for managing the channel setting, and preferences such as update frequency etc can be offered to people wishing to join the Beta/Alpha/Nightly channels.
Which channel you are in is determined by the app.update.channel pref, which will be typically set to ‘release’, ‘beta’, ‘aurora’ and ‘nightly’. This setting is passed along in the software update URL.
 
See [[Software_Update:Checking_For_Updates]] and [[Software_Update:Nightly_update_infrastructure]] for more information on the update URL.
