To make sure GPC is turned on in Firefox Nightly, visit https://globalprivacycontrol.org/. The website will flag if the GPC signal has been detected. “GPC signal not detected” by the globalprivacycontrol.org website = GPC is not on in your browser “GPC signal detected” by the globalprivacycontrol.org website = GPC is on in your browser

Is Global Privacy Control (GPC) planned for a specific upcoming Firefox release?

I've read this article (https://blog.mozilla.org/netpolicy/2021/10/28/implementing-global-privacy-control/) which states that GPC is available in Firefox 95... What I mean is, when will it be enabled by default?
