Noteworthy Changes:

• VP9 is now supported in this release. We don't prefer VP9 (yet), but we do accept and negotiate it. Please help us test and report any bugs you find. Our plan is to keep this enabled into Release for Firefox 51. (See bug 1302935 for details.)

• Implemented draft-ietf-rtcweb-ip-handling, which adds prefs to limit IP address exposure. (See bug 1297416 for details.)

• Implemented mediaDevices.ondevicechange for Mac. Support for Windows and Linux will be in Firefox 52. (See bug 1286429 for details.)

• Removed RTCPeerConnection.removeStream. (See bug 1213441 for details.)
