It is a "laugh" expression.

That's a good reason for me to try it out.

It is a "laugh" expression.

And the best one, the one designated to "zoeira" in Brazil, the "for the lulz" laugh

With this beta it should also be possible to run Firefox Nightly (w/o webrender/acceleration, since there are still several breaking bugs in combination) directly on Wayland/sway via `GDK_BACKEND=wayland /path/to/firefox`. Apart from occasional display issues (menu rendering, resizing, HiDPI - the typical pain points) and some integration bugs (e.g. external links opening an XWayland instance of the browser) the experience is quite stable.
