Release Note Request (optional, but appreciated)
[Why is this notable]: This brings us up to parity with Chrome for important use cases, like local LLMs, or caching of GPU-driven media viewer/game assets.
[Affects Firefox for Android]: Not yet; we don't ship WebGPU on Android yet.
[Suggested wording]: Service worker support for WebGPU has been added, making it available in all worker contexts. Service workers allow WebGPU to run in the background, which is particularly useful for extensions and other pages that can meaningfully share resources across multiple tabs and time periods.
[Links (documentation, blog post, etc)]: Chrome described service worker support in a bit more detail in their 124 release (link):

You can use service workers to enhance background tasks and offline capabilities, … . See issue chromium:41494731.
