Removals

• KeyboardEvent.initKeyEvent() has been moved behind the preference dom.keyboardevent.init_key_event.enabled and is disabled by default. The method is not present in any current specification or supported in other current browsers (Firefox bug 1717760).

• Fixed a bug which caused WebDriver:Print to fail for large documents (Firefox bug 1721982).

Firefox can display still images, with colorspace support for both full and limited range colors, and image transforms for mirroring and rotation. The preference image.avif.compliance_strictness can be used to adjust the compliance strictness with the specification. Animated images are not supported.
