Mozilla sent Firefox Version 117.0.1 to the Release Channel.
Fixed- Fixed a bug causing links opened from outside Firefox to not open on macOS (bug 1850828 (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1850828))
- Fixed a bug causing extensions using an event page for long-running tasks to be terminated while running, causing unexpected behavior changes (bug 1851373 (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1851373))
- Temporarily reverted an intentional behavior change preventing Javascript from changing URL.protocol (bug 1850954 (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1850954)).
