Comment:
What is the motivation for this?
IMO, firefox on wayland is sufficiently stable and I don't see a need for the firefox-wayland wrapper anymore.

When you click on a link in the application, it does not open the tab if firefox was launched via firefox-wayland. I guess I should set GDK backend to Wayland systemwide now.
