   #firefox seems to have fixed the MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND being treated as an unset or set boolean ... with arbitrarily confusing things being set to enable it, such as "0" or "false" or "pleasedotnotenablewayland".

   Apparently only MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 is valid now.

   This is much less confusing. Yay!

     Tried switching to the #pinebookpro last month, but stalled out when #firefox would just consume CPU and display no window.

     The solution is simple... if a bit confusing... It works when exporting any of the following the environment variable:

     MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=false
     MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1
     MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=0
     MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=whatever

     The only thing that doesn't work is MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=

     Environment variable booleans where "set is true, unset is false" are way too confusing.

     Adrian Cochrane repeated this.
