#55 Ship libglvnd-gles to enable Firefox Wayland backend on Fedora 34/KDE
Closed: Fixed 2 years ago by ngompa. Opened 2 years ago by bcotton.

(copied from RHBZ 1948010)

Description of problem:

Since Fedora 34 ships the KDE/Plasma spinn with as default and should use WebRender to get full performance. This will also enable hardware accelerated webgl.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora-KDE-Live-x86_64-34_Beta-1.3
Firefox 86.

How reproducible:
When launching with MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 Firefox will be incredibly slow. This is on a Intel iGPU.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start firefox with MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 on LiveCD.

Actual results:
Firefox is unusably slow and shows error message:
Failed to load EGL library: FEATURE_FAILURE_EGL_LOAD_3 and Failed GL context creation for WebRender.

Expected results:
A fast browsing experience.

Additional info:
Can be worked around by simply installing libglvnd-gles.

Since we can't get Firefox to do the right thing, I guess we'll just have to add it to comps. :disappointed:

Once it's FE-Accepted, then we need to get @sgallagh to merge it.

This is as done as it's going to get.
