I mean that I have screen tearing on Firefox with Xorg, which is why I used to use Chromium, when I switched to Wayland I realised that the tearing had stopped.

Are you sure you are running Firefox with Wayland and not Xwayland? You have to add an environment variable to run it properly, the default it X

I meant that I have screen tearing on Xorg, but I don't have it on Wayland.

Ahh yes, this is probably the main reason I use Wayland, even being not well cooked yet. Screen tearing in games was insufferable using 2 monitors with different refresh rates.
