Since I didn't get much of a chance to ask my question in the last thread, I'll just repost it below.

I've been wondering what effect app.update.channel has? When I was using nightly builds this was set to nightly, with a pacifica build it's set to beta. Are there other settings and will one setting lead to more updates being found, or does check for updates/autoupdate only find nightly builds? It sounds like from Chase's comments here: http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/chase/ar ... 08775.html that changing the setting in about:config doesn't really do anything, but I'm still wondering what the effect the different channels have on updating to the most recent build for testing.

[dbMorris]

WCarloss -

To follow up with your thought ... as it is installed by default, does FF 1.5 Beta 1 grab the
latest nightly builds with update mgr?

I've tried an update mgr "check for updates" this morning (9:00am PDT) and
no updates have been detected so far. I'm running build 2005090806 at the moment.

[Elder Young]

The updater didn't find the latest build for me, but this might be because I was using a Pacifica build which was looking for "beta" builds instead of "nightly" builds. I just updated using the full installer.

[AmboyGuy]

I updated about 30 minutes ago from 090806 to 090906. (the diff file)
very short & painless today.
I assume it was the branch nightly since that's what I've been using.

[rschultz2002]

Mine did not update yesterday or today. I had to get yesterdays myself. Still am not getting one for today.

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win 9x 4.90; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050908 Firefox/1.4 - Build ID: 2005090806

OK - so must be something updated in user:config because the release Beta 1 install does
not automatically pick up anything from servers yet since build 20050806.

What setting do you use for app.update.channel and app.update.url?

[AmboyGuy]

app.update.url = https://aus2.mozilla.org/update/1/%PRODUCT%/ %VERSION%/%BUILD_ID%/%BUILD_TARGET%/%LOCALE%/ %CHANNEL%/update.xml
Product = Firefox; Version = 1.4; BuildID = current requesting build = 2005090806;
Build_Target = Today's date ? = 2005090906;
locale = en-us; channel = nightly;

app.update.channel = nightly

Go to:

Anyone see a big line saying ------------STORY----------- at the top of the page? It should be a comment, and it doesn't show on Opera or IE, but it shows in my Firefox.

[rschultz2002]

Yes I see it.

[Elfguy]

Any idea why? I'm looking at the source and it looks pretty standard. Else I'll fill in a bug.

[Elder Young]

app.update.url = https://aus2.mozilla.org/update/1/%PRODUCT%/ %VERSION%/%BUILD_ID%/%BUILD_TARGET%/%LOCALE%/ %CHANNEL%/update.xml

app.update.channel = nightly

Mine said update/0 instead of update/1. I reset the address so I'll see if I get updates later because my update channel is still set to beta.

Interesting - when I copy the page source into NVu web authoring and then simply save the file
as test.html ... FF renders the page fine with no display of the "STORY" line.

I did see in NVu though that the HTML Validator came back with quite a few source errors for the page
so perhaps there is CSS or HTML issues?

[Elfguy]

Don't really know. Also if you look at the source, the body tag is displayed as comment when it clearly isnt.
