 - Bump `@metamask/messenger` from `^1.2.0` to `^2.0.0` ([#9392](https://github.com/MetaMask/core/pull/9392))
 
+### Fixed
+
+- Only apply user-saved (advanced) gas fees to dApp transactions ([#9401](https://github.com/MetaMask/core/pull/9401))
+  - Saved advanced gas fees are now ignored for internal transactions (`isInternal`), such as swaps and bridges, whose gas fees are dictated by the aggregator or relay. Previously they were only ignored for swaps, so a user's saved gas fees (e.g. a low max base fee) could underprice a bridge transaction and cause it to fail or get stuck as pending.
+
 ## [68.2.2]
