Tab queues are still behind a nightly-only flag: http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/mobile/android/confvars.sh#104 I believe we decided to let this ride the trains to beta, then listen for feedback to see if we need to turn it off for some reason. bbermes, is this correct?

If we are not sure we want to release this code I would rather use ifdef EARLY_BETA_OR_EARLIER https://wiki.mozilla.org/Platform/Channel-specific_build_defines

I see that the patch now uses the EARLY_BETA_OR_EARLIER flag Kevin mentioned in comment 3. We talked about whether that flag was needed or not, and decided it wasn't. If this patch lands with EARLY_BETA_OR_EARLIER, I want to see a new bug filed right away to remove EARLY_BETA_OR_EARLIER and just always enabled Tab Queues. I want that bug marked as tracking Fx42. If Fx42 ships with Tab Queues disabled because we just forgot to remove a flag, well it won't be pretty.
I wasn't aware that the final decision was to let it ride the train. I'm going to land the initial patch and if we have any issues with it then we can hide it behind a flag again, although I'm hoping that won't be needed.

Yeah, I think there was some confusion here about my "listen for feedback" comment. I think we should have tab queues ready to ride the trains, and in the (hopefully unlikely) event that we get negative feedback, we can turn it off on beta. But the default plan is to ship it.

We probably want to relnote this. Can someone provide some wording for this? Release Note Request (optional, but appreciated) [Why is this notable]: [Suggested wording]: [Links (documentation, blog post, etc)]: Thanks!

Depends on: 1194199
This is in the release notes with "Open external URLs from Android apps in the background" as wording. By the way, I am using it and I love it!
