firefox-wayland is not the default anywhere yet. It is intended but there are still some
issues to fix before that.
Are you sure about that?
The script /usr/bin/firefox contains
## Enable Wayland backend?
##
if true && ! [ $MOZ_DISABLE_WAYLAND ]; then
if [ "$XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP" == "GNOME" ]; then
export MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1
fi
fi
And if I start firefox in GNOME and check the process environment in the corresponding
/proc/ID I see,
MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1
