Details

(Whiteboard: [webdriver:m11])

Right now Firefox enables both the CDP and WebDriver BiDi protocols via the remote.active-protocols preference.

After the 128 ESR release we do not want to have CDP enabled by default anymore, which would require CDP clients to set this preference to 2.

This change would also include writing a blog post most likely on fxdx.dev to explain the strategy behind it. As best this should be send out (at latest) together with the Firefox 127 release to give users time to adapt their client code and CI pipelines.
