Are you sure you are running Firefox with Wayland and not Xwayland? You have to add an environment variable to run it properly, the default it X
I meant that I have screen tearing on Xorg, but I don't have it on Wayland.

Yes, support for sessions in Plasma.
I miss apps supporting global hotkeys. Screen remote support in popular apps.
