Is Linux A Finnish Conspiracy?
WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF CORRUPTION -- According to a report recently
issued by the NSA (No Such Agency), Finland is now considered a national
economic and security risk. "We don't trust the Finns... software written
by these people could potentially contain backdoors that could undermine
domestic security," the report states. In response to the news, US Senator
Fatcatte (R-WA) has proposed a bill, the It's For The Children Act of
2000, that would ban all software written by native-born Finns.
"It's time we take the Finnish threat seriously," Fatcatte said at a press
conference. "Not only is Finn software a threat to domestic tranquility,
but it could radically alter the computer industry, costing us thousands
of jobs... and, more importantly, billions in tax revenue. We must prevent
the Finns from subverting our economy with so-called 'open-source
software'." He then asked, "Is anybody thinking of the children of
programmers who will become unemployed when Finnish software overruns the
country?"

Out of curiosity, is there an ETA for WebRender for Linux, enabled by default ?

Thanks, but that doesn't tell me much about when it'll be released.

It's already "released", just not enabled by default. You can enable it with gfx.webrender.all and gfx.webrender.compositor.force-enabled (I think) in about:config, and verify in about:support.

Woo-hoo! Some time ago I tried running Firefox on Wayland by setting the MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND environment variable to 1. The result using version 78.0.2 was total garbage: flickering windows, areas that were not updated at all, resizing the window resulted in confusion, etc.
As a shot in the dark I tried enabling Webrender (still on 78.0.2), and it fixed the problems almost completely! Excellent.
