Release Note Request (optional, but appreciated)
[Why is this notable]: This is one of the most wanted Web Performance API
[Affects Firefox for Android]: Yes
[Suggested wording]: The LargestContentfulPaint API has now been added, to provide timing information about the largest or text paint before users interact a web page.

Added a slightly reworded note to the Fx122 nightly release notes, please allow 30 mins for the site to update.
Keeping the relnote-firefox flag as ? to keep it on the radar for inclusion in the final Fx122 release notes

I'm not super crazy about enabling this so late in the cycle when it's been off for the first half of the Beta cycle (i.e. NIGHTLY_BUILD vs. EARLY_BETA_OR_EARLIER). How concerned are we about that?

[Sean Feng [:sefeng211]]

oh I didn't aware this is too late now as I thought we still have like 2 weeks. But yeah, if it's being considered as late in the cycle, please approval-mozilla-beta- . I'd also love to make sure it's stable for a long enough time.

If this had ridden 121 to Beta behind an EARLY_BETA_OR_EARLIER flag (or even if that had been landed earlier in the cycle), I think it would have been reasonable to request this now when you did. But having been completely disabled on Beta for the last 2 weeks leaves me feeling less confident about that. If there isn't a strong business need for this to ship this cycle, I'd vote for letting it ride 122 instead. Don't hesitate to reach out if we need to discuss further!
