    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Mozilla Firefox has merged Wayland fractional-scale-v1 protocol support for handling fractional scaling with the web browser on the Linux desktop.

    Merged yesterday is the Wayland fractional-scale-v1 support for this fractional scaling that has been successfully tested with the KDE KWin compositor.

    Unfortunately at the moment though this Wayland fractional scaling support is disabled by default: for now interested users will need to set the widget.wayland.fractional-scale.enabled preference for enjoying this fractional scaling support.

    The Wayland fractional scaling support was tracked via this bug report.

    It’s great seeing Firefox finally supporting Wayland fractional scaling!

    The fractional-scale-v1 protocol has been enjoying fairly robust support by the numerous Wayland compositors and seeing support within Google Chrome/Chromium web browser since earlier this year and also other desktop software like the MPV video player rather than being limited to integer-based scaling.

    I hardly know anything about the graphics processing / posix, can someone explain why applications need to handle it themselves?
