1438044 - Re-Enable WebVR for macOS in FF60 in Release

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: WebVR, enhancement)

Description

[:kip (Kearwood Gilbert)]

For FF59, we disabled WebVR for macOS before allowing it to ride the trains to release.  Softvision was unable to verify for QA due to challenges getting a working hardware configuration for macOS VR at SoftVision.

We have since gained approval from the Firefox Release Team to re-enable WebVR for macOS in release for FF60.

Essentially, we need to reverse the changes in bug 1426500 and uplift to FF59/Beta before the next cycle.

I have fixed our compatibility data for VR-related interfaces:

I've also added a note to the Firefox 60 rel notes:

Let me know if that all looks OK. Thanks!
