Action items

Feature Status Review

• Firefox 97 (Beta)
  • S1 Download Modal sec issue identified (if you want the bug number ping @telin). Currently under investigation but likely to cause this work to slip to Fx98.
  • Implement the WebMIDI API (https://mozilla-hub.atlassian.net/browse/FFXP-1484) slipped to Fx98 as the bug to enable by default was backed out (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1752906)
  • Service Worker Latency General Improvement (https://mozilla-hub.atlassian.net/browse/FFXP-1588) likely to have its forecast adjusted to Fx98 as it was only enabled for Fx98 and we're already in RC week. Just confirming with Jens/Randell.
• Firefox 98 (Nightly)
  • Things are looking good here. No major concerns. The Release tracking mana page (https://mana.mozilla.org/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=150558329) is up to date.
