Please report bugs. "Crashes the entire session" is something we need to hear about.

I used the automatic reporting tool. Reproduction is simple. Run firefox on NV44 (Ben used to have one. I have a spare with less RAM if anyone cares about nouveau on that any more). Bring up cookie clicker in the browser and let it run for a bit. It will crash.
More recently gnome crashes right after login, but then doesn't when I login a second time. I don't think the automatic reporting is working for this one.
I figure at this point I'll let it slide until I upgrade and then get more vigilant about reporting problems. Unfortunately the auto-upgrade didn't work for me this time, so I'll reinstall 26 or 27 from scratch.

Automatic reporting tool? We don't have one of those. Your report probably went to /dev/null.
Hacker News isn't the right place for your bug report, though, please file a GitHub issue here: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/issues/new

I am pretty sure it's abrt, this reports to downstream. I don't know whether they get passed upstream, but sometimes they do.

You can already test Wayland builds of Firefox from here: https://firefox-flatpak.mojefedora.cz/
Works pretty good in my experience.

Firefox is undergoing a major redesign of the engine, so may be after its switch to WebRender, Wayland support will get some traction. I suspect it's the reason for several other features being stalled in Firefox now as well, like hardware accelerated video playback.
Firefox IMHO really needs to get native Wayland support out of the box. Not sure if Fedora is using the wayland version of LibreOffice, but it should be by now.
