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

Component: Untriaged → WebVR
Product: Firefox → Core

dom.vr.enabled was disabled by default in Bug 1750902 due to the WebVR API being obsolete. This is most likely why. There are also no active maintainers in this module anymore, so this seems unlikely to change in the near future.

The severity field is not set for this bug.

There have not been any active owners of the WebVR module since the layoffs in 2020, so I would say it is unlikely.
