GNOME 40.1: Firefox, Chromium, GIMP won't launch anymore on Wayland
Description
I updated my Alpine edge install (GNOME 40.0 --> 40.1) and Firefox and GIMP won't launch anymore, other programs launch just fine.
Running the command firefox
or gimp
in a terminal just hangs without any information.
Workaround for Firefox
By default Firefox uses X11 so XWayland is used to launch it on Wayland systems.
Setting MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1
in the desktop file works around the problem as Firefox launches then with Wayland as window system.
However, clicking on links won't start Firefox anymore.
What happens
Firefox and GIMP doesn't launch
What's supposed to happen
Firefox and GIMP launches
