Firefox on Wayland for Ubuntu Touch

Faster and smoother Firefox on Wayland (Experimental)

Firefox running through XWayland is very choppy on my device. So I made this version that uses Wayland for rendering.

Experimental! Use at your own risk!

Let me know of any not-already-known issue.

  • On-screen keyboard sometimes needs a long press followed a short press to reappear.
  • Flickering on initial page load

If someone tries this, tell me if it launches at all. I'm seeing one bug report in the Open Store but can't ask the user for more details so I can try to fix it. Thanks!
