Action items

Feature Status Review

• Firefox 90 (Beta)
  • Limited feature list but everything remains on track
  • LSNG landed the last bit of their uplifts 1.5 weeks ago (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1713820 ). Gradual rollout planned for Fx91/92.
• Firefox 91 (Nightly)
  • Mostly On track with 1 challenged item
  • AVIF considered challenged as the feature remains 'on hold' while a comparison is with jpeg-xl is completed. Feels like this will slip from Fx91 but no confirmed change in plans at this time.
  • WebRender appears to be in good shape! 100% rollout expected with Fx91
  • With Prangya leaving Mozilla I have been having a bit of trouble getting updates around Security projects. Working to get information from Ethan moving forward.
