https://mastransky.wordpress.com/2020/03/16/wayland-x11-how-to-run-
firefox-in-mixed-environment/ is useful to understand the problem.

As suggested there, exporting MOZ_DBUS_REMOTE=1 when running in a
wayland session works around the problem.

I can observe the problem in a wayland session if I launch e.g. vlc with
GDK_BACKEND=x11 and then click a link in the app (e.g. in the about
dialog). With MOZ_DBUS_REMOTE set, the problem is gone.
