[SOLVED] Blurry firefox in Wayland

I use KDE Plasma
I havee hdpi screen so I need to rescale the interface and firefox is blurry.
I already found that I can do :

MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 firefox

But I don't want to run firefox from terminal. How can I make this persistent?

p.s.
It seems that there is a problem with scaling in libreoffice too, but I've found the solution in the other topic here.
But I would like to ask you something.
Does Gnome has similar problems with Wayland?

Re: [SOLVED] Blurry firefox in Wayland

Thank you. To be honest, I don't understand this (not completely) but...
I appended MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 firefox into /etc/environment and it works. But I'm not sure if this was the best / proper way.

Re: [SOLVED] Blurry firefox in Wayland

That's one way of doing it, whichever way is "best" is up to your specific needs and use cases.

You've chosen to set it globally using /etc/environment. Please note the quote from the wiki below:

/etc/environment must consist of simple VARIABLE=value pairs on separate lines, for example

You definitely don't need to include the `firefox` command itself in your value, so in your case you should simply add to `/etc/environment` a line reading

MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1

I think it will effectively drop all other words after the initial assignment (maybe?), but I'd still suggest cleaning that up.
