in about: page, Gecko/20100101 Firefox/68.0 Waterfox/56.6.2022.11 is shown.

Why Firefox 68 and Waterfox 56? Those JavaScript features are following 68 or 56?
If it is following 68, why 56 is mentioned?

And if WaterFox is able to "update" the engine core, why it is still 68? Can't it be upgraded to 69 (with PromiseRejectionEvent supported) or even recent versions?

It's set as 68, cuz some websites checks Firefox version and forbid access for lower versions (BrowserWorks/Waterfox#2185).
However it's 56, cuz it's modified Firefox 56 code.

Those JavaScript features are following 68 or 56?

It's mixed, there are some things ported from higher versions than 56.
