If only firefox would render to the framebuffer, I'd need neither X nor Wayland.

What's the reason why it doesn't?

Pretty sure I'm the only one who'd appreciate it.

I can say with certainty that there is at least one other person who would like this.

Other person reporting here.

I wouldn't normally use it, but occasionally it would be useful. If I have a problem with my desktop, I need to diagnose the issue, and a web browser is handy. If that problem involves X not coming up, then it'd be handy not to rely on elinks or a phone/tablet/laptop to browse to another website to diagnose issues.

look into gamescope

Thank you. I had trouble building it, and I don't currently have the time to devote to debug that. Maybe some other time.
