Most internet references to firefox-wayland are back around Fedora 30-ish era. I'd guess that it's a leftover deprecated artefact from X -> Wayland? I certainly don't have a file or package by that name, there's nothing in the FF RPM. (rpm -ql firefox) Check to see if you have a customised launcher for firefox: wmcdonald@fedora:~$ find ~ -name "*.desktop" 2> /dev/null | grep firef If you do, look at the Exec statements in that file. If not, check the Exec statements in the default launcher? wmcdonald@fedora:~$ rpm -ql firefox | grep desktop\$ /usr/share/applications/org.mozilla.firefox.desktop wmcdonald@fedora:~$ grep -C1 Exec /usr/share/applications/org.mozilla.firefox.desktop Comment[sv]=Surfa på webben Exec=firefox %u Icon=firefox -- Name[zh_TW]=開新視窗 Exec=firefox --new-window %u -- Name[zh_TW]=新增隱私視窗 Exec=firefox --private-window %u -- Name[fr]=Ouvrir le gestionnaire de profils Exec=firefox --ProfileManager The default firefox 'binary' in /usr/bin is also just a shell script, so maybe check to see if you have an older/custom/modified copy of that, or any .rpmnew files. wmcdonald@fedora:~$ which firefox /usr/bin/firefox wmcdonald@fedora:~$ sudo find /usr/ -name '*.rpmnew'
