TL;DR: anticipate very low impact.

We don't have telemetry for these, but we've been warning about these in web console since 55. [1]

These are legacy names for the standard autoGainControl and noiseSuppression constraints we've supported since 55. [1]

You can try it out here https://blog.mozilla.org/webrtc/fiddle-of-the-week-audio-constraints/

Interestingly, in 64 we're also considering changing autoGainControl to be ON by default (it was the lone audio processing constraint not ON by default, differing from Chrome). [2]

The way constraints work, specs don't dictate UA defaults. It is up to JS to constrain all properties they care about. But we wanted to tell you anyhow.

The most likely net fallout of, if any, would be sites that UA-sniff AND rely on the legacy Firefox names ONLY to turn OFF audio processing. These are likely to be specialty sites dealing with things like music rather than your typical WebRTC communication site. More likely, old sites would double up the moz and non-moz constraints here in order to work with both Firefox and Chrome, and in those cases, there is no impact.
