That is kind of weird. My F41 is fully patched, and Firefox is working fine.
Are you running Wayland?
$ loginctl show-session $(loginctl | grep $(whoami) | awk '{print $1}') -p Type
Type=wayland
$
However, I don't have a firefox-wayland:
$ sudo find / -name firefox-wayland
find: ‘/run/user/1000/doc’: Permission denied
$
Just a plain Firefox:
$ ps -A | grep firefox
3154 ? 08:24:22 firefox
$
Maybe the shortcut is a bit off:
$ cat ~/Desktop/firefox.desktop
#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open
