Description of problem: Opening a URI from command line fails if there is a Firefox running already that runs in wayland mode. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): firefox-65.0-2.fc29.x86_64 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open "Firefox on Wayland" and wait for it to start 2. run something like "firefox www.redhat.com" in gnome-terminal -> results in a pop-up window saying "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system." Additional info: Worked fine with the firefox-64.<something i don't remember>.fc29 I had before
Yes, we decided don't mix wayland/x11 browsers versions, you need to use firefox-wayland command on Fedora 29.

Well, that's not that hard for people like me, but from the "make things just work" that sucks, as now I have to change my default apps in gnome-settings depending on the firefox I'm currently running. That IMHO a really bad user experience :-/

That IMHO a > really bad user experience :-/ That's because Firefox Wayland is a tech preview on F28/29 and we don't encourage regular users to use it. Fedora 30 has simple "firefox" with wayland enabled by default as we aim to enable it for all users there.
