** Description changed:
+ [ Impact ]
+
+ On some systems, when you open the Firefox snap right after having
+ logged in into an Ubuntu on Wayland session, you are met by a black
+ window. This happens because the FF snap is run under Xwayland, and
+ Xwayland may not be enabled early enough to handle the start of the
+ application properly.
+
+ You can easily reproduce the issue in a Wayland session:
+
+ * Close Firefox
+ * Run the command "killall Xwayland" in terminal
+ * Open Firefox
+
+ An upstream mutter change addresses this issue, and the proposed lunar
+ change cherry picks that upstream change as a patch.
+
+ [ Test Plan ]
+
+ On an updated Ubuntu 23.04:
+
+ * Install the mutter related binaries from lunar-proposed
+
+ * Reboot and log in to an Ubuntu on Wayland session
+
+ * Run the command "killall Xwayland"
+
+ * Open the Firefox snap, and find that it starts normally
+
+ [ Where problems could occur ]
+
+ This is the upstream merge request in question:
+
+ https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/2970
+
+ The changes (except for the test related ones) are small, and
+ specifically intended to address issues like the one reported in this
+ bug. There are also reviews by a couple of experienced GNOME devs.
+
+ So even if the proposed change is not well tested yet, it seems to me
+ that the risk for adverse side effects is limited.
