-Fission is still in active development, and can only be enabled in Firefox Nightly.
+Fission was released to desktop [https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/95.0/releasenotes/ Firefox in version 95].
 # In ''about:config'', set the '''"fission.autostart"''' and '''"gfx.webrender.all"''' prefs to '''"true"'''. DO NOT edit any other "fission.*" or "gfx.webrender.*" prefs.
-# Restart Nightly.
 You can verify that Fission has been enabled by hovering over the current tab. If the tooltip contains a "[F]", Fission is enabled. Background tabs' tooltips might not have the "[F]" if they are not loaded yet.

+If you encounter an issue while using Fission, it can be useful to create a new profile in about:profiles and attempt to recreate the issue. This can be useful to determine if issues are Fission-specific. If you encounter an issue that only happens with Fission, please be sure to file a bug in Bugzilla about it as described above!
-If you encounter an issue while using Fission, it is possible to open a non-fission window within the same browsing session using the "New Non-Fission Window" item in the hamburger menu. This can be useful to determine if issues are Fission-specific, or to work around fission-specific breakage.
-To disable Fission, reset the "fission.autostart" pref back to "false" and restart Nightly.
