Details
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.15; rv:88.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/88.0
Steps to reproduce:
When I click About Firefox, the info window only says 64bit. I think it would be good if it were made clear if the installed version has native apple silicon support.
I guesst that under about:support, "Rosetta-übersetzt false" means that it has M1 native support, but for the average user, it would be better if in "about firefox", there were written "64 bit (Apple Silicon natively supported)" or sth like that. Also "rosetta-translated", if it means what I guess, could also be written more user friendly, for example "false -- Apple silicon natively supported"
Actual results:
see above
Expected results:

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Widget: Cocoa' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please revert this change in case you think the bot is wrong.

Adding some need-info's to gather some feedback on what to do here. Bug 1664916 makes it look like this was mostly developer-focused. Should we make this more end-user focused at this time?

Including the CPU architecture in the "About Firefox" seems fine to me. We already include 64-bit which is a CPU-specific detail and so including Intel, Apple Silicon, ARM64, etc. would fit. I don't think it should be a Mac-specific change though.

This doesn't seem relevant any more. Browser are expected to support Apple Silicon natively these days.
