Yes this is exactly the case here. Many applications get this for free because the gui toolkit provides the abstraction - both Qt and Gtk exist to do this for cross platform purposes.

However if you want things toolkits don't provide then you need to talk to the underlying API yourself.

My distro ships both plain Firefox and firefox-wayland. I've been using it for... At least a year. No noticeable difference to normal Firefox.

The big thing I notice with firefox wayland on nixos are cursor issues. It seems to have fewer cursors and sometimes uses obviously wrong ones (text selection cursor when it should be a pointer). So I'm still using it on xwayland
Can you link to the bug report? Thanks!
