Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.1 Adds Native Firefox Support on GNOME on Wayland Sessions
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.1 comes exactly six months after Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.0 and introduces native support for the Mozilla Firefox web browser on the GNOME desktop environment using Wayland sessions.
This change has been implemented in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux for Workstations 9.1 edition to allow users to use more native tools. Users can still use the XWayland/X11 GTK+ backend via an additional firefox-x11 package.
