July 2025 (mozilla/gecko-dev) focused on strengthening URL port handling through targeted test coverage rather than new feature delivery. Key work added Web Platform Tests to validate edge cases in URL port parsing and manipulation, addressing scenarios with newlines or tabs in the port value and an empty host with a port present. This work aligns with Bug IDs 1974743 and 1974790, implemented via two test commits.

June 2025 performance highlights: focused on strengthening URL module reliability through targeted test-driven coverage in the Web Platform Tests (WPT) suite.
