Details
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:72.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/72.0
Steps to reproduce:
Disable Xwayland by adding "xwayland disabled" to $HOME/.config/sway/config
Launch Sway compositor as usual
Launch Firefox with gfx.webrender.all true
Actual results:
Firefox can't display its window. You can see its window with nothing in it except the poorly rendered address bar and something else which is hard to describe and is supposed to be other items of UI such as buttons.
Expected results:
Firefox should have launched as usual. It's worth pointing to the fact that that happens only if Sway launches with disabled Xwayland. Otherwise, it works just fine with Webrender enabled.

At least from version 76.0.1 Firefox can render its window(s) when both conditions are present: (i) Xwayland is disabled, (ii) WebRender is on.
There is an error in step 1. You need to put "xwayland disable" not "disabled" in your config. Sorry.

By now Firefox should work fine without Xwayland and not even try to open a connection (as long as WebRTC isn't used, but that's another story).
