Can confirm I see the same behaviour, NetBSD-amd64 10.0_RC4
firefox-122.0.1 built from the latest pkgsrc. about:config indicates
http3 is enabled

The firefox source mentions that QUIC and HTTP/3 are implemented via
the rust neqo library, so I don't know if that might not be being
built or some part of it is missing NetBSD support? From a quick check
there does not appear to be any bsd reference in "neqo containing
subtrees of firefox" (find . -name \*neqo\* | xargs grep -r bsd), and
the only linux references are in a non-gecko config path.

Does anyone have a FreeBSD or OpenBSD system with firefox to hand on
which they can run the same test against https://cloudflare-quic.com/
?
