Release Note Request (optional, but appreciated)
[Why is this notable]:
SVGAElement has text methods that duplicate textContent. Safari and Chrome have never implemented this method and it's now been removed from Firefox. Calls to set text or get text content via SVGAElement.text can be replaced by SVGAElement.textContent.
[Affects Firefox for Android]:
yes

Added to the Fx125 relnotes:

Support for SVGAElement.text was removed in favor of the more widely-implemented SVGAElement.textContent method.
