I’m a fan but this is such a turnoff:

  That worked too, albeit not quite as we expected. We got a nightly build, rather than the latest release 124, and it pulled in some unexpected dependencies such as Python 3 and Wayland – although NetBSD doesn't support Wayland.

But that is not NetBSDs fault but the configure script not doing the correct things. It would pull in the same things on Linux. Which is the error as they should be different.

The article is wrong, it has branding disabled (so it identifies as Nightly), but it's stable Firefox. And the linked article indicates that one compositor can be used.
