:sclements, could you consider nominating this for a release note? (Process info)
We could include it in the nightly only release notes.

We're only doing this for the sake of the internal demo and still have a lot of bugs to squash. We could perhaps make a release note about this for 149 though.

Users know that nightly-only features are still under development and to expect problems. We could even call that out in the release note that there are known bugs being worked on.

Added to the Fx148 nightly release notes, please allow 30 minutes for the site to update.
The nightly-only note will be removed after three cycles or when it is enabled by default, whichever comes earlier.

Removing nightly+ flag since this was enabled by default in Fx149 in bug 2012704

@pascal I'm very sorry for delay with this – I'm blanking on the process for including the note into beta release notes. Please let me know if there's another doc like this one for 149 release.

If it's not too late to include the beta note, here's the text for it:
View two pages side-by-side in a single window with the new Split View feature that makes it easier to compare information, research topics, or work across two pages at once. To create a split view, select one or two tabs and choose Add to Split View or Open in Split View.

Note added to 149 beta notes, thanks. I am setting the relnote-firefox? flag set until we include this note in our final 149 release notes, thanks.
