XWayland in XOrg

Most users of Linux on the "desktop" are more dependent on a web browser than on KDE or Gnome, so the drivers are not the only unknown.

GTK and Qt are shaping up well too. Firefox is working on switching to GTK 3. And XWayland can help for those who lag behind.

Can you point to any commits on the Firefox tree or is your evidence limited to blog posts and mailing-list messages?

There are commits [1] on the Chrome tree designed to get Chrome working on Wayland, but for those commits to reach significant numbers of users will require the cooperation or at least the "non-interference" of the employer of most of the Chrome devs -- which is at this time an unknown.

Regarding Firefox Gtk3:

Firefox Bugzilla bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=627699

You can install a build on Fedora via this copr (like a PPA for Fedora): http://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/stransky/FirefoxGtk3/

I think the only remaining problem is Flash. Hopefully Mozilla Shumway will cover that at some point.
