1488904 - Enable multiselect tabs feature on early beta builds

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, enhancement)

Description

[Jared Wein [:jaws] (please needinfo? me)]

We'd like to get more testing on the multiselect tabs feature, which we are planning to ship with Firefox 64.

The feature is mostly implemented in Firefox 63 but we held it back from shipping in 63 due to some remaining work regarding accessibility as well as bookmarking and send-to-device.

Approval Request Comment
[Feature/Bug causing the regression]: new feature, would like to get expanded testing during early betas
[User impact if declined]: none
[Is this code covered by automated tests?]: yes
[Has the fix been verified in Nightly?]: no
[Needs manual test from QE? If yes, steps to reproduce]: no
[List of other uplifts needed for the feature/fix]: none
[Is the change risky?]: no
[Why is the change risky/not risky?]: This feature was on Nightly for most of 63 cycle but it was held back from shipping in 63 due to some extra feature work and accessibility bugs. Those bugs are either fixed or should be fixed soon for 64 but enabling this on early betas of 63 will give us more testing and feedback before it releases with 64.
[String changes made/needed]: none
