-##### Webdriver BiDi and CDP Deprecation

-:::info
-
-Since Firefox 129, Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP) has been [deprecated in Firefox](https://fxdx.dev/deprecating-cdp-support-in-firefox-embracing-the-future-with-webdriver-bidi/).
-In Firefox 135 and above, Cypress defaults to automating the Firefox browser with WebDriver BiDi.
-Cypress will no longer support CDP within Firefox in the future and is planned for removal in Cypress 15.
-
-If CDP still needs to be used, you can force enablement via the `FORCE_FIREFOX_CDP=1` environment variable, regardless of Firefox version. For example:
-
-```bash
-FORCE_FIREFOX_CDP=1 npx cypress run --browser firefox
-```

 ### Processing your Cypress configuration and plugins
 
-Cypress needs to be able to transpile your Cypress configuration and plugins written in TypeScript in order to make them executable within Cypress's Node.js runtime. To do this, Cypress will attempt to read the user's TypeScript and project configuration to apply the correct TypeScript loader to Cypress's Node.js runtime.
+Under the hood, Cypress uses [tsx](https://tsx.is/) to parse and run the `cypress.config.ts` file.
 
-If your project is an `ESM` package (short for [ECMAScript Module](https://nodejs.org/api/esm.html#modules-ecmascript-modules)), Cypress attempts to apply the [ts-node/esm](https://github.com/TypeStrong/ts-node?tab=readme-ov-file#esm) Node.js loader to resolve the Cypress configuration and plugins. `ESM` is determined by Cypress if you have the `type: "module"` key-value pair present inside your project's `package.json`.
-
-Otherwise, regular [ts-node](https://github.com/TypeStrong/ts-node?tab=readme-ov-file#node-flags-and-other-tools) is required into Cypress's Node.js runtime.
-Since Node.js by itself can only interpret CommonJS files, Cypress attempts to make your TypeScript configuration compatible with Cypress' Node.js runtime.
-To do this, Cypress overrides the following configuration values found inside your project's `tsconfig.json`:
-
-```json
-{
-  "module": "commonjs",
-  "moduleResolution": "node",
-  "preserveValueImports": false
-}
-```
-
-This does not have an impact on your project or its TypeScript configuration settings. This override only happens within the context of the Cypress runtime.
+This allows Cypress to run your TypeScript configuration inside the Cypress runtime without being bound to limitations of Node or other loaders.
