SUMMARY Not sure if this is a Firefox or KWin issue, but attempting to tile a Firefox Wayland window (with shift+drag) *sometimes* does not work*. The tiling indicator shows up, but at the end of the drag, it stays where it was immediately before releasing mouse left. This only happens when I launch Firefox with MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1. Using just "firefox" launches it in XWayland mode, which does not have that issue. * I found a WORKAROUND, which might help resolving that issue: After the window fails to tile, switching to another virtual desktop, and then back to the original one, gets the window to tile properly. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Enable custom tiling 2. Start Firefox in Wayland mode with MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 firefox 3. Shift+drag the firefox window to any desired custom tile, until the tiling indicator appears 4. Release mouse left, observe how the window did not tile. 5. If that did not trigger the bug, try again on a different tile. OBSERVED RESULT The window does not tile to the desired tile, instead it just keeps its position and dimensions as they were immediately before releasing mouse left. EXPECTED RESULT After releasing mouse left, the window should tile properly to the desired tile.

I'm experiencing this issue too. I'm not a fan of having to fall back on older technologies like X11/XWayland. I'm running Plasma 6.3.4 and hope that Plasma 6.4 will resolve this tiling bug.
Also experiencing this. I found another workaround: Tile other windows and then reactivate Firefox, it will tile to the same dimensions. For example, use brave and terminator to fill the full screen, enlarge the brave portion of the screen (the terminator tile will become smaller) and reactivate Firefox, it will tile to the dimensions of brave (or terminator depending on which part of the screen Firefox was). I'm not a dev, but let me know if I can do testing if needed.

Seems to be fixed in my version. I can tile firefox the same way as other applications. I'm not using any parameters or env variables to start Firefox, just the default as KDE has given me.
