== Other Firefox Editions ==

Nixpkgs also offers other variants of Firefox aside from the ones stated above - these may suit your needs more comfortably than vanilla Firefox.

'''Note:''' The packages for the variants listed below are installed ''instead'' of the normal <code>firefox</code> package and each other, which means that you'll have to choose one among these options.

===Wayland===

Users running a Wayland compositor (such as [[Sway]]) may want to use a Wayland-compatible build of Firefox. This can be achieved by replacing the <code>firefox</code> package with <code>firefox-wayland</code> instead.

====Screen Sharing====

==== Screen Sharing ====

When using Firefox with Wayland, screen sharing options might be limited and require additional configuration (exact capabilities vary with different compositors).
