Screen tearing in Firefox

Edit: to reword, I lack Firefox screen tearing on Wayland but I have it on Xorg.

Are you sure you are running Firefox with Wayland and not Xwayland? You have to add an environment variable to run it properly, the default it X

I meant that I have screen tearing on Xorg, but I don't have it on Wayland.

Ahh yes, this is probably the main reason I use Wayland, even being not well cooked yet. Screen tearing in games was insufferable using 2 monitors with different refresh rates.

Nvidia?

I mean that I have screen tearing on Firefox with Xorg, which is why I used to use Chromium, when I switched to Wayland I realised that the tearing had stopped.
