The Mozilla Firefox 146.0 release binaries are now available with a very exciting improvement for Linux users relying on Wayland.

With Firefox 146, the most exciting change for this last browser release before the holidays is: “Firefox now natively supports fractional scaled displays on Linux(Wayland), making rendering more effective.”

Yes, Firefox on Linux is now natively supporting fractional scaling on Wayland!
