Jamie, I thing this should be noted into our Nightly release notes to ask for wider testing, wdyt?

I confess I forgot we had Nightly release notes. 😳

I think this makes sense. Note that this won't be enabled by default in Nightly this cycle and thus nor will it ride the trains this cycle.

The note might say something like this:

Firefox can now cache all accessibility information from all documents in the Firefox main process. This improves performance for screen readers and other applications which use accessibility APIs. This can be enabled in the Nightly Experiments section of Settings.

What's the process here? I assume I shouldn't set the relnote-firefox flag given that this is not intended for the final release notes, only for Nightly?

Setting the relnote-firefox flag is fine for this purpose, just precise in the request that it is nightly only. Pinging a release manager about it is also fine and I added the note to our Nightly release notes, thanks!
