Feature team setting up a Foxfood

Create a rollout with the change you want Mozillians to be able to try. Set the Audience size to the lowest it will accept - or .0001 with 1 expected client. We aren't going to actually launch this - but lowest is always safest. Click "Preview for Testing" - and it's ready!

Foxfooding with Nimbus Dev Tools

Start by installing Nimbus Dev Tools. If you aren't a developer, don't let the "Dev Tools" or add-on scare you away. This is easy!

Here is a 65 second video on how to install Nimbus dev tools. Watching the video takes half the time to getting Nimbus Dev Tools installed. Here is the link to docs on how to install Nimbus Dev Tools. The very first link on that page is to the Nimbus DevTools GitHub repository, where you can find the one click XPI file install.
