The Firefox 152.0 release binaries are now available ahead of tomorrow's official unveiling. With Firefox 152 there is now the JPEG-XL support code being compiled by default for the release albeit still disabled at run-time by default behind a preference for now.

Merged for the Firefox 152 release cycle was [1]this change to now build the JPEG-XL image format support code by default on the beta and release builds of Firefox. Previously it was only enabled as standard on Firefox Nightly builds. Those interested in JPEG-XL on Firefox for now still need to go to the Firefox Labs to enable the preference but at least for beta/release builds the support is now compiled by default to ease the experimental testing.
