Feature Status Review

• Fx104 Beta
  • Looking to be a very feature-light release. No challenged or at risk issues reported.
  • Audio Remoting Core work (implement and enable a new AudioIPC layer) has been removed from the Fx104 forecast as it is unclear when this will be enabled for Mac and Linux (Windows support already shipped).
  • Investigate/prototype Container Queries slipped to Fx105 as the work just took a bit longer to complete than originally anticipated
• Fx105 Nightly
  • No challenged or at risk features this time
  • Features shaping up for MR 2022. Colorway Closet, Felt Privacy, Firefox View now considered dev complete!
