Enabling Wayland support by default prevents use of XWayland on Wayland systems, while correctly falling back to X11 when Wayland is unavailable in the current session. With the current packaging many people unnecessarily rely on the `firefox` attribute, which is suggested by nixos-generate-config, which in turn makes their Firefox use XWayland, when it shouldn't, which causes bugs with GNOME on Wayland: https://discourse.nixos.org/t/firefox-all-black-when-first-launched-after-login/21143 Using the Wayland-enabled Firefox was tested on pure X11 systems by contributors on the #nix-mozilla:nixos.org room and we are confident this change will not cause severe regressions. Even better, people can now toggle `MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=<0|1>` in their environment to override this decision, should they feel the need to do so. |

This directory is temporarily needed while we transition the manual to CommonMark. It stores the output of the ../md-to-db.sh script that converts CommonMark files back to DocBook.
We are choosing to convert the Markdown to DocBook at authoring time instead of manual building time, because we do not want the pandoc toolchain to become part of the NixOS closure.
Do not edit the DocBook files inside this directory or its subdirectories. Instead, edit the corresponding .md file in the normal manual directories, and run ../md-to-db.sh to update the file here.
