The mdn/content articles already existed years before the implementation in Firefox, since the API was part of Chrome's extension API:
- https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/runtime/onSuspend
- https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/runtime/onSuspendCanceled
The compatibility information has been added at:
The release notes of 100 was updated at:
I did note the following caveat: The "event page" feature itself was not enabled by default until Firefox 106 (bug 1788108). So while extensions can already try to register event listeners for these, in practice the events would not fire until the extension has enabled support for event pages by adding "persistent": false AND the browser supports event pages (i.e. Firefox 106+).
Technically, the API would still be correct when it never fires the event, since an event page is allowed to, but not required to suspend.
