I hope this gets fixed before FF on Wayland becomes the only option:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1666410

It makes FF really difficult to use with menus drawn off screen.

Subject: F30: Self-Contained Change proposal: Firefox Wayland By Default On Gnome

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Firefox_Wayland_By_Default_On_Gnome

== Summary ==
Firefox is going to run natively on Gnome Wayland session and won't
use XWayland/X11 Gtk+ backend. This change affects Gnome only and
won't be enabled for other Wayland compositors (KDE Plasma, Sway).

== Owner ==
* Name: [[User:stransky| Martin Stransky]]
* Email: <stransky@xxxxxxxxxx>
* Product: Spins / Workstation
* Responsible WG: Desktop

== Detailed Description ==
Firefox with native Wayland backend has been available for last two
Fedora releases as an optional package. It grown over the time and we
can deploy it now as a default to bring all Wayland benefits to Fedora
users.

== Benefit to Fedora ==
Running Firefox natively on Wayland is generally faster and smoother
on Wayland enabled sessions like Gnome Wayland and better supports
HiDPI displays (respects desktop scale) .

== Scope ==
* Proposal owners: Firefox already uses Wayland as a default backend
on Fedora 30 / Gnoma Wayland session.
* Other developers: N/A (not a System Wide Change)
* Release engineering: [https://pagure.io/releng/issues #Releng issue
number] (a check of an impact with Release Engineering is needed)
** List of deliverables: N/A (not a System Wide Change)

* Policies and guidelines: N/A (not a System Wide Change)
* Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change)

== Upgrade/compatibility impact ==
N/A (not a System Wide Change)

== How To Test ==
Run Firefox on Gnome Wayland session and check any issues you may see.

== User Experience ==
* Faster Firefox run on Gnome Wayland session
* Smoother font rendering compared to non-Wayland Firefox version
* Honor display scale, better user experience on HiDPI and semi-HiDPI desktops.

== Dependencies ==
N/A (not a System Wide Change)

== Contingency Plan ==
* Contingency mechanism:  Switch back default X11 backend.
* Contingency deadline: Beta Freeze
* Blocks release? No
* Blocks product? product No

== Documentation ==
* Mozilla Firefox Wayland Bug tracker:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=635134
* Mozilla release calendar:  https://wiki.mozilla.org/RapidRelease/Calendar
