Acceptance criteria

  • The listed features are documented sufficiently on MDN
  • BCD is updated
  • Interactive example and data repos are updated if appropriate
  • The content has been reviewed as needed

For folks helping with Firefox related documentation

  • Set bugs to dev-doc-complete
  • Add entry to Firefox release notes for enabled/preview features
  • Add/remove entry to Firefox experimental features page for preference/released features

Features to document

I am not entirely sure what is relevant and what needs to be documented. However the spec indicates a new Priority HTTP header (possibly HTTP3 only) in https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9218.html#section-5 and we generally document those.

This also disables the previous HTTP/2 approach defined in network.http.http2.enabled.deps which does not appear to have any "public" headers.

We also would probably add the spec to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Resources_and_specifications

FYI this is enabled by default

  • network.http.priority_header.enabled - enables new Priority header from RFC9218
  • network.http.http2.enabled.deps - turns off old RFC7540 stream dependencies

More investigation is needed, and there is a little background here: https://blog.cloudflare.com/adopting-a-new-approach-to-http-prioritization/
