Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:76.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/76.0

Steps to reproduce:

Firefox nightly running under Wayland.
Menu -> Help -> About Nightly

Actual results:

The window opened in a weird position, it is not centered, and it is not the same position as when opening the About dialog under X.Org or Windows.

Expected results:

The About dialog should open centered, in the same way it does under X.Org and on other systems such as Windows.

We can't position newly opened toplevel windows on wayland because the protocol does not allow it so unfortunately this is a wontfix.

FWIW: it would be possible if a popup dialog was used, similar to e.g. the saving dialog.

The window position could be better if it was a modal dialog instead of a top-level window. However the nice with a top-level window is that the user can continue to interact with the application while it is downloading the update.
