Hi All,
To help testing firefox on wayland I'm running it as my day to day browser
now, but when I click links (specifically in thunderbird) I get a dialog
saying "firefox is running but not responding". I believe this is caused
by thunderbird spawning /usr/bin/firefox to open the link instead of
firefox-wayland.
Any ideas how to fix this? I guess I could try to set MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1
in my environment everywhere, but AFAIK a Wayland gnome-shell will not
parse /etc/profile or any of the other scripts, so setting an env variable
so that it works for apps launched from gnome-shell is tricky...
Regards,
Hans

Please file a #BZ and let's investigate it there.
Thanks.

As mentioned further down the thread, changing the
default web application in gnome settings from firefox
to firefox-wayland fixes this.
Let me know if you still want me to file a bug for this.

Ahh, it's fine then.
I suspected https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1526243 but
it's not your case then.

Hi Hans,
FWIW, I've been running Firefox on Wayland ever since Wayland was
available on fedora.
I have not noticed anything unexpected with regard to clicking on links
from anywhere, mostly ones in Thunderbird
current setup:
uname -a: Linux rwells-x280 5.0.4-200.fc29.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Mar 25
02:27:33 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
rpm -q firefox: firefox-66.0.1-4.fc29.x86_64
Let me know if you want me to run any experiments.
cheers,
roger

I certainly have - it's the main reason I always give up after
a short period of trying to test it.

One point, I just checked what's running firefox-wise when I clicked a

when I close the link and firefox terminates the same "ps aux | grep
firefox" yields nothing (except the grep)
also
there is no file named "firefox-wayland" on this machine.
the only wayland related firefox file that I have found is a shared
library: /usr/lib64/firefox/libmozwayland.so

So you're running the normal firefox then!
You need to install firefox-wayland to get the test version
and then you will have a firefox-wayland script and a second
entry in the gnome overview.

I just run what installs by default.
I didn't know there was a version dedicated to wayland.
Maybe I'll give it a try, but I have few, if any, complaints about the
version that I have.
So why do we need a wayland version?
Thanks for the info,
roger

Check your default web application in gnome settings. It does have
firefox and firefox-wayland as available applications.
This fixed it for me.
