Firefox running through XWayland is very choppy on my device. So I made this version that uses Wayland for rendering.

Experimental! Use at your own risk!

Let me know of any not-already-known issue.

• On-screen keyboard sometimes needs a long press followed a short press to reappear.
• Flickering on initial page load

This is the source from my earlier post for anyone who just wants to try it. Its based off 20.04 because I don't have a 24.04 device to test it on.

Use at your own risk but let me know if you run into any problems.

I've tested it on my phone but removed some more hard-coded customization in the UI so I haven't used this particular version as much.

I've put it on GitLab for now because that's where the Lomiri source is. I made a GitLab issue here but aren't sure if that's the best way to contact upstream to see if they'd want this.

Normally, you have to go into different tabs to toggle Wifi, Bluetooth, change volume and so on. This puts things in one place.

Is anyone else interested in this or does an existing project already do this? It needs to make changes to Lomiri so I think that means installing through the open store wouldn't work.
