One point, I just checked what's running firefox-wise when I clicked a
link contained in this thread: https://compton.nu/
a bit tedious:
ps aux | grep firefox

when I close the link and firefox terminates the same "ps aux | grep
firefox"  yields nothing (except the grep)
also
there is no file named "firefox-wayland"  on this machine.
the only wayland related firefox file that I have found is a shared
library: /usr/lib64/firefox/libmozwayland.so
