They don't use the compatibility layer XWayland, but rather actual Wayland using our pref MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND to force it on. Right now we are unable to test this configuration in CI because our version of Ubuntu is too old to work well as Wayland development is quite active. We don't need our existing tests on Linux to be fully ported, but it would be good to have the option to run some tests using Wayland on a newer Ubuntu, such as 21.04. This would allow us to start greening the tree for Wayland, and push it out officially from our side.

The only issue there is missing focus support. The failures you see there are caused broken focus where we wait for focus (that produces timeouts) or we expect a window has focus (that produces reftest failures). These failures are pretty random as it depends how the focus is handled by compositor - we use a workaround where we hide/show a window and hope it gets the focus after show. Only reliable way how to fix that is XDG activation protocol implementation (https://wayland.app/protocols/xdg-activation-v1). This is not finished yet (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1845). Robert, do you know when this may be available in Mutter? For instance I don't see it in mutter-40.3-1.fc34.x86_64 package. So our goal is to have compositor with XDG activation protocol available to test Wayland reliably.

So I guess we'd want at least Ubuntu 20.04 so we don't run into already fixed issues.

Currently we run tests on docker with xvfb - my understanding is wayland on xvfb == xwayland; that is not wayland proper. Any advice you have on this would be helpful.

I can confirm that using the version 100 (available in the candidate channel of snap at the time of writing this comment) the wayland backend works again.
