Two problems with Wayland Gnome

I discovered two issues with Firefox on my Wayland Gnome. Picture-in-picture windows should be opened with the "always on top" attribute, but in Wayland they are not on top. It's not a big deal to manually set always-on-top. Although I need to remember to do this after the window appears. The second problem is related to selecting multiple tabs. I should be able to detach selected tabs from the window by dragging them from the tab bar. A new window is then created with the selected tabs. This doesn't work in my Wayland. I can detach one tab, but not multiple tabs at once. I can still move multiple tabs from one window to another open window. So, as a workaround, on Wayland I need to open a new window and then move the selected tabs there. Which is inconvenient. I am curious if anyone else noticed these things on Wayland. There might be something wrong with my instance of Wayland.

Install the "PiP on top" GNOME extension.

You can right-click > Move Tabs > Move to New Window.

Thanks zeroknight for this info! PiP on top is a good solution. However, adding Gnome and browser extensions just to save two extra clicks on each PiP window is too much for me. On Wailand, I manually set "always on top" with just two mouse clicks or a few keystrokes.

The "Move to New Window" command is the much better workaround than I've used. I missed the appearance of the "Move Tabs" option in Firefox. Apparently it is relatively new.

However, I found a much better workaround. Chrome/Chromium don't have two above problems. Both are running under Xwayland. So, I tried Firefox under Xwayland by setting the environment variable MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND to a value other than 1. Using Xwayland fixed these issues in Firefox, too. I also didn't notice any other differences between running on Wayland and running on Xwayland. Even running on Xwayland fixed the third issue that I had with Firefox on Wayland, witch was touchpad scrolling. On Wayland, scrolling in Firefox was almost impossible, the touchpad was too sensitive. Xwayland has returned Firefox to normal behavior. So I don't know what I lost by returning to Xweland, but I know what I gained.

XWayland runs the application in legacy X11 mode which is not fully supported and does not have Wayland features like video accelerated decoding (VAAPI), touchpad gestures (kinetic scroll, two-finger swipe), vsync, reduced latency, window occlusion, optimal fractional scaling, better security and more.

You can reduce touchpad scroll sensitivity by changing apz.gtk.pangesture.page_delta_mode_multiplier to 0.3 in about:config.
