Release Note Request (optional, but appreciated)
[Why is this notable]:
This introduces a new web API, textInput event
[Affects Firefox for Android]:
Yes
[Suggested wording]:
Starting to support textInput event which was a non-standardized API and replaced with beforeinput event. However, this is standardized and implemented for some web apps which use legacy libraries or frameworks. So, please keep using beforeinput when you develop new web apps.
