Attachment: Bug 1797278 - Don't flex release notes link. r=Gijs

This was introduced so they can wrap when you shrink the window, but
other links don't behave like that so we can probably live without it.

The patch landed in nightly and beta is affected.
:emilio, is this bug important enough to require an uplift?

• If yes, please nominate the patch for beta approval.
• If no, please set status-firefox107 to wontfix.

Probably not worth uplifting.

Reproduced the issue with Firefox 108.0a1 (2022-10-25) on macOS 12 and Windows 10. The "What's new" link extends to the right side of the modal past its actual content.
The issue is verified fixed with Firefox 109.0a1 (20221117214129) on Windows 10, macOS 12 and Ubuntu 22. The "What's new" link is displayed as expected, with its width matching its content.
