From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Wayland imposes new rules, and one of those rules being that programs can't arbitrarily access keystrokes and mouse input. This is done to protect against keyloggers as they are used by malicious actors to gain a bevy of information like passwords, banking information, personal information, etc.
I'm unsure if it's Firefox, the RMM or both, but the necessary permissions aren't granted and that's why it's not working.
