For those wondering, what is Global Privacy Control?

"Global Privacy Control (GPC) is a proposed specification designed to allow Internet users to notify businesses of their privacy preferences, such as whether or not they want their personal information to be sold or shared. It consists of a setting or extension in the user’s browser or mobile device and acts as a mechanism that websites can use to indicate they support the specification. [0]

and

"WebAssembly GC is now enabled by default, which allows new languages, such as Dart or Kotlin, to run on Firefox. This makes it possible for reference cycles between the guest language and host browser to be collected." [1]
