Ubuntu 23.10 will run Firefox in native Wayland mode by default

Reported by php editor Youzi: Ubuntu 23.10 will run the Firefox browser Firefox in the native Wayland mode by default. This move aims to improve system performance and user experience, allowing users to use the Firefox browser more smoothly. As a modern display server protocol, Wayland can replace X11 to provide better graphics display effects and performance. Users can look forward to experiencing a smoother and more efficient Firefox browser in Ubuntu 23.10.

Note: Ubuntu currently has the Wayland session by default, and Firefox can also work normally. However, currently Firefox Snap actually runs in XWayland compatibility mode, instead of the strict native Wayland mode.

Canonical announced that the Firefox browser will run in Wayland mode by default, so that problems such as interface blur and scaling distortion will not occur on HiDPI displays, and it will support touch gestures such as dragging and pinching.

As mentioned above, Ubuntu 23.10 will come pre-installed with Firefox Snap to run on the native Wayland implementation.

In previous versions of Ubuntu, you can also manually enable the local Wayland mode of the Firefox browser. The command is as follows:

sudo snap refresh --channel=wayland firefox
