Nightly and Early Beta already use MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 by default (bug 1749174).

Ok, I had an interesting discovery:

• I had a pinned icon on the "Task Manager" in KDE to launch Firefox Stable (which I had initially from snap).
• Yesterday I switched from Firefox Stable to Firefox Beta by using snap refresh --channel=latest/beta firefox
• When launching Firefox with this icon, it would then go to it's own icon on the "Task Manager" with the Wayland icon shown.
• This morning I tried launching Firefox Beta from the "Application Launcher" - and the icon in the "Task Manager" then showed up correctly.
• I un-pinned and re-pinned the "Task Manager" icon, and now it also works correctly

This is a bit confusing behaviour for users, but seems like it might be an issue on the KDE side, not on the Firefox side.
