Release Note Request (optional, but appreciated)
[Why is this notable]: This enables WebRTC services to utilize ULPFEC with video providing another tool to improve quality when experiencing network impairment.
[Affects Firefox for Android]: Yes
[Suggested wording]: Uneven Level Protection Forward Error Correction (ULPFEC) will now be on by default in Firefox. This will provide another tool for WebRTC services to utilize improving video quality for users with spotty internet connections.
