The Mozilla Firefox 146.0 release binaries are now available with a very exciting improvement for Linux users relying on Wayland.

With Firefox 146, the most exciting change for this last browser release before the holidays is: "Firefox now natively supports fractional scaled displays on Linux(Wayland), making rendering more effective."

Yes, Firefox on Linux is now natively supporting fractional scaling on Wayland!

Excellent news! Now I need to find a Linux distro that has fractional scaling built in so I can see stuff on my giant screen for everything else not in Firefox

    I think it's been available but hidden in Gnome for quite a while now, yeah.

    Some distros are preconfigured with it hidden some have it shown

    No idea why they don’t all have it 🤷‍♀️

    From what I can tell, the performance cost was too great until recently, but I forget what they changed to make it suck less for games. I still don't use it because it causes what I can only describe as "weirdness" with resolutions in games, though.
