Hey folks. I run the Shield team. Pref flipping experiments ARE available on Nightly and will be available in all channels (including Release) at some point in Firefox 54.
Since the process is still relatively new, I've been hacking on some how to docs: https://docs.google.com/document/d/16bpDZGCPKrOIgkkIo5mWKHPTlYXOatyg_-CUi-3-e54/edit#heading=h.mzzhkdagng85 Feel free to give those a spin. Feedback on the docs/process is welcome.
