Release Note Request (optional, but appreciated) 
[Why is this notable]: longer battery life on e.g. youtube
[Affects Firefox for Android]: no
[Suggested wording]: Enable Hardware VP9 acceleration. Available on Windows 10 Anniversary Edition. Get better battery life and lower CPU usage watching videos on machine with hardware support.
