Title:
Firefox snap does not use wayland backend by default
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
In Progress
Bug description:
Previous versions of Firefox worked with the wayland backend, with the
latest version ( 99.0.1 ) wayland is not available and it has to use
xwayland. This breaks the screen sharing and also the fonts are not as
sharp as using the wayland backend.
Nightly version 101.0a1 without snap works fine.
```
Gtk-Message: 09:20:51.884: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"
Gtk-Message: 09:20:51.885: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"
[GFX1-]: glxtest: Could not connect to wayland socket
```
Tested on Ubuntu 21.10 and 22.04 with the latest updates.
