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.
