Solved: Firefox 92 Wayland Regression: Overlays no longer work (again)

uname -ar: `Linux hostnamel 5.13.13-arch1-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu, 26 Aug 2021 19:14:36 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux`

Firefox version: firefox-92.0-1

Sway and wlroots version: sway 1:1.6.1-1, wlroots 0.14.1-1

In this new Firefox version on Wayland, it doesn't seem like extension popups work anymore. I have downgraded to FF 91.0.2-1 for now.

Works here. I use Gnome, tho. Is Firefox spitting any errors in stderr?

You should report it to the Firefox people in their bugzilla.

Try the git version of sway and wlroots. There were some changes and fixes around firefox bug reports as well.
Edit: This bug is still open, though:

Thank you for the references. I will hold off on the Firefox upgrade until it's fixed and released. Thanks!
