Fwd: Firefox Wayland article (Fedora 31)

[Martin Stransky]

Guys,

I'd like to submit an article about Firefox in Fedora 31 to cover the 
default Wayland topic, put some advice there and possible tweaks, x11 
fallback and so on.

I'd like to coordinate that with you and I also don't know what's the 
Fedora 31 release date / when this article should go out.

Thanks,
ma.

Firefox Wayland article (Fedora 31)

[Paul Frields]

Currently the release date looks to be next Tuesday 2019-10-29. What are
the issues you're addressing? I'm not familiar with them. I do think we
would like to have an article for sure. Is this something we should publish
before the release, so users know before upgrading?

Firefox Wayland article (Fedora 31)

[Martin Stransky]

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.

Firefox Wayland article (Fedora 31)

[Paul Frields]

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.

I think this would be a good thing judging by some of the topics and
comments at ask fedora.

Firefox Wayland article (Fedora 31)

[Martin Stransky]

I already created the article, it's "Firefox tips for Fedora 31".

Feel free to change anything there, as I'm not a native speaker so it 
may contain bugs etc. Also feel free to change the article title.

Thanks,
Martin

Firefox Wayland article (Fedora 31)

[Martin Stransky]

Thanks a lot for fixing/publishing that.

There's a minor glitch in the article remaining - about:config links 
point to "https://fedoramagazine.org/firefox-tips-for-fedora-31/config 
instead" of "about:config" - can that be fixed?

Thanks
Martin

I think I took care of this earlier today. Let me know if it's still a

Hi Paul,

I can't moderate (approve) comments under the FF article - can you give 
me such permission?

Thanks,
