So people know the sequence of events.

firefox-91.13.0-1.el9_0 was built in RHEL 9.0  on 2022-08-18
- The build passed all of it's gating tests.
- This was built on a RHEL 9.0 buildroot, and tested on a RHEL 9.0 buildroot
- This got pushed to RHEL 9.0 only

firefox-91.13.0-1.el9 was built on CentOS Stream 9 and RHEL 9.1 on
2022-08-25
- This build did not pass it's gating tests - it still hasn't
- This was built on a RHEL 9.1 buildroot, and tested on a RHEL 9.1 buildroot
- As far as I can tell, it's got the same tests.  It's possible that one or
more of the tests went from "warn when it fails" to "fail when it fails",
but it looks like the tests are the same.
- It's also possible that something changed in RHEL 9.1 that is causing the
tests to fail.
- I'm not on the firefox team, I'm just looking at the gating system, and
to be honest, when I look beyond the "passed" - "failed" parts and into the
results, I get lost.

>From everything I can see, this delay wasn't the result of an embargo,
simply tests not passing.
