BigInt Shipping in Firefox

Firefox, please bring back SharedArrayBuffer like Chrome did so my JavaScript GTA will work again http://bad.city . I already removed juggling of transferable objects and SAB is so much easier to work with(less code and better performance too)

I'm curious why this wasn't shipped as a replacement of the existing Number type implementation, instead of this new type and syntax.

Anyone knows how does bigint serialization and deserialization to JSON look like in practice in Chrome and Firefox?

Afaict, JSON serialization is not supported yet, got a "TypeError: BigInt value can't be serialized in JSON". I'm on Firefox Developer edition 68.0b3.
