Enabling seccomp-bpf for content seems to show problems/crashes for some users, see tracking Bug:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1280415

If you have problems/crashes, check if seccomp-bpf for content is the culprit by setting
security.sandbox.content.level to 0 (disabled). By default it is 1 (enabled).

So, they disabled SPDY in Firefox. Only with switch network.http.spdy.enabled.v3-1 for now.They say it dropped significantly but imho they getting it wrong - since Chrome removed SPDY several services i use removed SPDY too, but they hfvent gone H2, instead its just HTTP1.1 now. Other, like DuckduckGo still stuck on SPDY.

[Virtual_ManPL]

Chromium no longer supports SPDY and NPN, so Mozilla is dropping support for it too in favor of HTTP/2 and ALPN.
No need to support dead and obsolete standards.

There is no such thing like dead or obsolete standard. RS232 (COM) is sooo dead, but still used pretty widely. If some server insist on use of SPDY i dont see reason to say "NO, you can use this protocol". Ofc its better to switch on newer one, but overall its only matter of use. HTTP 1.0 was used in reverse proxy for loooong time.
SPDY will become unused on its own, no real need on specially killing it.

Anyway, it will go in FF51 completely, so i hope more sites will work on implementing H2

Hmmm...
So what will you tell about SSL, PCI-X, PCI, AGP, SCSI, EISA, ISA, VESA, MCA, ATA, FDD, LPT, ActiveX, TIFF, JPEG 2000, JPEG XR, MNG, JNG, etc.
and even in near time NPAPI plugins?
In my eyes they're dead and obsolete standards.

It's dead on PC. But like you said it's still used for car diagnostics, programming logic systems etc.

They still can use it, it's the matter of which browser will still support it, same with SSL.

We need to kill it fast, so no more servers will start using unsupported, dead and obsolete standard,
especially when its successor, the HTTP/2 is available.

HTTP/2 is SPDY in essence as it was used as a base for HTTP/2. Its not so much of using something obsolete, but using the updated version of it.

PCI is still used in some, even modern MOBO, because there was enough of good old hardware, like videocapture devices, professional soundcards and so on on PCI. Soundcards for example is NOT benefiting anything from transition to PCI-E, so why one should waste good hardware?
VESA is still used when you just turn on your PC or if your graphic drivers completely gone nuts. Linux fallback to Vesa on no-driver or X crash situation. Its much better then connect with SSH in hurry.
ATA - some industrial hardware still uses ATA drives, even today. But yes, its shame.
ActiveX - is a shame too, but its still used in some government facilities and banks even today, at least in Russia and South Korea. But banks in general almost deprecated that.
TIFF file format is still widely used in polygraphic industry.
JPEG 2000 as well as JPEG XR is just algorithms and associated file formats. Nobody stop anyone from using it (except some stupid legal issues). JPEG, basically is muuuch mode old and outdaten, but do you see it as dead?
Same with MNG and JNG. Yes, those formats never got any significant traction, and Mozilla rejected them too. But i cannot say APNG is anything like more popular.
NPAPI? Oh dear, Mozilla going to turn them off in FF52 (with override) and really turn off in FF53. But NPAPI for Flash will be still supported. Too alive, it seems.

Exactly.

@ Romani - It would be nice to support all "open" things, especially in open source project like Firefox,
but in other hand supporting all that stuff could lead to too much time wasting on maintenance and it will probably create more bloat so slower performance.
So in the end I think killing it fast when the "new version" of it is available is a must, like "kill it before it lays its eggs".
ATA is not that shame, I still have some not dead HDDs with not even on bad sector on it working fine compared to its newest "friends" (especially 3TB Seagate...)
and many new MOBOs don't have ATA, same with PCI, so my external ATA controller will also be useless, oh, more money to spend for
