Hi :marco! is this still being targeted for Fx124?

Comment 2

[Marco Castelluccio [:marco]]

Yes, we are planning to land a couple more fixes before the soft freeze, and potentially uplift telemetry (if we don't manage to get it in time for the soft freeze), but we should be ready for 124.

Comment 3

[Marco Castelluccio [:marco]]

We should enable this by default in 125, and keep it disabled in 124 as we will control the pref there through Nimbus.

This image refers to "add an image", which we released a while ago.
We should build another image for highlighting.

Comment 7

[Marco Castelluccio [:marco]]

We have decided to release the feature in 125 instead because of bug 1881743 and bug 1881746.
We will release it through an experiment, so we can turn the pref on by default in 126.

Comment 8

[Marco Castelluccio [:marco]]

[Tracking Requested - why for this release]: We are releasing through Nimbus on 125, and by default in 126.

Comment 9

[Donal Meehan [:dmeehan]]

:marco since we are tracking this for Fx126, will a patch be attached to this bug to enable it by default?

Comment 10

[Marco Castelluccio [:marco]]

Yes, Calixte will build and land the patch.

Comment 11

[Donal Meehan [:dmeehan]]

Next week is the final week of beta for Fx126, last chance to uplift a patch for this
