Chrome and Firefox issue with Wayland in Gnome
I recently switched to Wayland on my Arch Linux system, which was previously running on X11 with GNOME. The transition has been smooth for the most part, but there are a couple of issues that I’ve encountered.
Firstly, Firefox tends to crash when I attempt to view YouTube videos in fullscreen or open PDF files. I managed to resolve this problem by turning off hardware acceleration.
The main concern, however, is with Chrome. I’m unable to use the track-pad to zoom in and out. Each time I attempt to do so, a Remote Desktop window pops up, requesting permission for remote interaction. If I grant permission, the zoom function works, but an icon indicating recording appears in the status bar. I’m unsure of how to address this issue and would appreciate any advice.

Please don't paraphrase, https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57855
Also wAyLaNd is not a thing: is this gnome on wayland or some other compositor and do you start the session differently now?
