I'm guessing we'll want to add a relnote for this? Maybe with a link to the blog post?

Yeah, we could do that. What's the process?

Release Note Request (optional, but appreciated)

[Why is this notable]: MV3 is a "big thing" in the WebExtensions ecosystem.

[Affects Firefox for Android]: Yes and no. While the WebExtensions framework is shared between MV2 and MV3, Fenix needs some more work to better support MV3 extensions: it is possible to load MV3 extensions but some UI is missing or not great yet. I’d say, we do not mention MV3 for Firefox for Android yet.

[Suggested wording]: Manifest Version 3 (MV3) is now enabled by default (MV2 remains enabled/supported). This major update also ushers an exciting user interface change in the form of the new Unified Extensions button.

Added to the Fx109 beta relnotes.

While this has been documented in the release notes and https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Firefox/Releases/109 , there are still tasks left. The BCD (and extension workshop?) should be updated so that it is obvious that MV3 is enabled by default.

I just saw this example of a feature that is rendered as unsupported because it is annotated with a flag. I suppose that the flag should be removed and then version_added be bumped to 109: https://github.com/mdn/browser-compat-data/pull/18403#issuecomment-1430467216
