Once we run them through try a few times and double check with release we should flip on pgo for nightlies and remove the separate macosx pgo jobs.

Ryan, do you have any input from the release management side of things as to whether we do this now (with about two weeks until the merge to beta), or immediately after the merge?

Also, let me know if there's someone else I need to be asking :-) Thanks!

We've got about 3 weeks until 73 merges to Beta (6-Jan), so I think there's time to land this still and revert if things get crazy.

Release Note Request (optional, but appreciated)
[Why is this notable]: PGO will improve Firefox performance.
[Affects Firefox for Android]: No. This change only affects macOS. Firefox already uses PGO on Android, Windows, and Linux.
[Suggested wording]: Enable PGO (Profile-Guided Optimizations) performance improvements on macOS.
[Links (documentation, blog post, etc)]: None

This note can be listed in the release notes' "Changed" section.

relnote-firefox: --- → ?

I can't find any previous instance of including PGO in the release notes and in general it feels a bit overly-technical for something user-facing. I guess we could maybe include a more generic "performance improvements on macOS" comment, but I'm not sure that's really worth calling out either. Feel free to NI and state your case if you feel strongly otherwise, though.

You need to log in before you can comment on or make changes to this bug.
