1764568 - Include Manifest Version 3 and EventPages about:config prefs in about:support and telemetry environment

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(WebExtensions :: General, task, P1)

Description

[Luca Greco [:rpl] [:luca] [:lgreco]]

Support for manifest_version 3 and Event Pages is currently locked behind the following about:config prefs:

• extensions.eventPages.enabled (enable support for the non persistent background page, a.k.a. event pages, in manifest_version 2 extensions)
• extensions.manifestV3.enabled (allows extensions with manifest_version 3 manifests to be installed)

It would be useful to include these two preferences in about:support and the telemetry environment to aid investigating newly filed issues.
