The Mozilla Firefox 146.0 release binaries are now available with a very exciting improvement for Linux users relying on Wayland.
With Firefox 146, the most exciting change for this last browser release before the holidays is: “Firefox now natively supports fractional scaled displays on Linux(Wayland), making rendering more effective.”
Yes, Firefox on Linux is now natively supporting fractional scaling on Wayland!
Very cool! A while ago I found that instead of using fractional scaling, things were smoother for me if I set Gome’s text scaling factor in accessibility settings. I think most GTK UI scales based off that value? It’s pretty helpful for me, even though I’m not actually using Gnome anymore. But if fractional scaling support has gotten better, maybe I’ll switch my approach.
It has gotten better in Wayland. I am looking forward to the near future when we can finally stop appending “on Wayland” to everything.
