Did you want to nominate this for the Fx155 relnotes? If so, set the relnote-firefox flag to "?"
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Release_Management/Release_Notes_Nomination

Possible wording:

Firefox now supports the WebAssembly Compact Import Section proposal, which reduces the size of WebAssembly modules with many imports.

Release Note Request (optional, but appreciated)
[Why is this notable]: Enables a more efficient encoding for WebAssembly modules with many imports, which can significantly shrink some import-heavy WebAssembly modules today (e.g. Google Sheets).
[Affects Firefox for Android]: yes
[Suggested wording]: Firefox now supports the WebAssembly Compact Import Section proposal, which can reduce the size of WebAssembly modules with many imports.
