CSS Containment Module Level 3 defines different container relative length units. Those units are cqw, cqh, cqi, cqb, cqmin, cqmax.

  • For now, implementation always returns the fallback value, i.e. small viewport lengths.
  • Enabled via existing pref layout.css.container-queries.enabled.

For controlled construction and access of upcoming, lazily-evaluated container query size.

Depends on D158054

Low-hanging fruit optimization that enables short-circuit exit of container query lookups.

FF108 MDN docs work for this can be tracked in https://github.com/mdn/content/issues/22119

Can you confirm that this is shipped in FF108? If not, what is the preference used to enable this?

Those units are part of the efforts around implementing container queries. So they are currently still behind the layout.css.container-queries.enabled flag.
Emilio has now added the dev-doc-needed flag to the meta-bug.

I guess, they should be mentioned together with container queries in general at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Firefox/Experimental_features, though.

Thanks Sebastian. I just found a more general issue on MDN too: Improve existing and add new documentation for container queries #20987. I'm pretty sure these will all be dealt with together as you suggest.
