Still having difficulty getting my wayland compositor to properly render firefox.
The window chrome appears but for some reason firefox never attempts to update the buffer associated with the subsurface so it displays an empty window.
I have 3 theories which I'll write out full in the next post, but if anyone has any other ideas really like to hear them.
Theory Summary:
1. A bug in my compositor
2. Firefox has an unmet wayland extension dependency
3. Reliance on behaviour not in spec.
