Firefox PiP doesn't stay on top in GNOME (feddit.de)

I am using fedora silverblue and in the native version of Firefox, the picture in picture window does not have always on top enabled. Is there anyway to change a setting such that always on top is enabled by default. I know it is supported on gnome+fedora because the flatpak version(I downloaded to test this behaviour) has this enabled by default.

I usually right click the window in the app bar and choose the "stay on top" option. This issue only happens in Wayland, also. in X11 it stays on top as expected.

This is a limitation of Wayland, aiui it's not currently possible for apps to set this by default. You can right click and select always on top for now.

So I am guessing that always on top works on the flatpak version because it is running through XWayland

does anyone know if there is any work on like a portal/wayland extension or something to enable the ability for applications to get permission to create an always on top window on wayland.

Yes normally Wayland surfaces can be displayed at the top. The plasma Panel for example is always on top

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.
