Works fine here, out of the box, on a pretty bare bones installation (no 
X or Desktop Environment).

Are you passing any special parameters to Firefox? 

Currently I'm setting 'MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1', but don't remember if this 
was necessary to get Firefox to even start or I just wanted to make 
really sure Firefox is running natively on Wayland (i.e. without some X 
compatibility layer or something).

Hope this helps,
