Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/110.0

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Have Firefox with the Metamask extension installed and set-up (preferably using a tiling window manager) (
  2. Go to any website that supports Connect Wallet (i.e. opensea.io)
  3. Press on Connect Wallet and you should get a Metamask extension window asking you to unlock your wallet

Actual results:

On X11 (and also XWayland) with a tiling window manager, the window opens as an untiled popup. Getting the window properties using KDE's System Settings shows that it has a Window Type of "Dialog Window".

Meanwhile, on Wayland (I've tested on both Sway and KDE), the window gets tiled like a normal window. Getting the window properties using KDE's System Settings shows that it doesn't have the Window Type set (or it's set to default).

Expected results:

It should set the Window Type to "Dialog Window" on Wayland the same way it does on X11 and XWayland which I believe would in turn fix the issue with tiling window managers tiling extension windows.

Also adding that I've been experiencing this for a while but I wasn't sure if it was my tiling window manager, Wayland, or Firefox until I observed the difference in the window properties and tested using different WMs so I don't think that this is a recent regression.

Summary: Firefox does not set Window Type of extension windows to "Dialog Wayland" on Wayland while it does so on X/XWayland → Firefox does not set Window Type of extension windows to "Dialog Window" on Wayland while it does so on X/XWayland
