Hi folks,

As of Firefox 139, I intend to enable
dom.selection.mimic_chrome_tostring.enabled by default on all platforms.
The pref was originally introduced in
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=85686.

It allows us to mimic the WebKit/Blink behavior for
`window.getSelection().toString()` — specifically:

- When the selection is in a text control, we return the same content with
Webkit/Blink.
- We may also return the content serialization for a previously focused
text control based on a similar heuristic used in WebKit/Blink.

This allows us to fix some webcompat bugs.

*Bug to turn on by default*:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1954979

Standard: link to the standard: The behaviour is unspecified and there are
two open spec issues, https://github.com/w3c/selection-api/issues/83 and
https://github.com/w3c/selection-api/issues/7. We are also trying to move
the spec issues forward in the meantime.

Thanks,

Sean
