I believe this is fixed in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1527867, which is targetted to FF68. @austin.shao can you try with a nightly build?

I just built a nightly Firefox and indeed this is working as expected. It's just that the feature wasn't done in FF67.
Additionally in nightly (future FF68, becoming beta next week) bigint is finished (i.e. the implementation is all there), and on by default, so no need to muck with preferences.

It is verified that this issue has been resolved in FF macos64 68.0a1 nightly build. Thanks for the great effort of developers!

It would be much appreciated if anyone could fix incorrect version number in this page to avoid further ambiguous understanding against the availability of bigint in the firefox version. Thanks.

A PR has been raised to MDN browser-compat-data repo to change Firefox 67 to Firefox 68.

austin.shao great work! One thing, BigInt is unconditionally enabled in F68, so no need for the flag. Would you mind following up to remove the flag from the MDN page? Sorry for the confusion!

Hi, Andy
I'd like to confirm if we are going to merely remove the flag due to the bigint would be enabled automatically in FF68. I'm not sure if it is still an experiment feature or a production-level feature able to be released?

I would say that it's a production feature. More precisely: the flag means that to enable the feature, a user has to go into about:config or something and turn on a flag. That is not the case for BigInt in FF68: the option is on already (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1527902). So it's shipping!

Is this also coming to FxAndroid?

Hi Florian,
Thanks. I'm not sure the availability and not attested it by myself. However, if you know the detail you might confirm with the PR reporter. Perhaps they might have had a test.
