Thanks for this overview Martin. We can call this article something like
"Helpful hints for Firefox users on Fedora," if folks agree. Go ahead and
draft it and we'll see about getting it published soon.

Hi Paul,
It generally should pass such messages to users:
- Wayland is default backend for Firefox, if anything goes wrong try to
install/run Firefox-x11 package (you may also set is default at settings
in this case).
- Flash plugin does not work under wayland, it's disabled. Use
firefox-x11 for it.
- To save energy/CPU cycles you can enable HW acceleration by setting
layers.acceleration.force-enabled to true at about:config.
- File any Wayland related bug at bugzilla.
I think especially flash plugin may cause some confusion as it's not
visible under Firefox/Wayland.
