Comment (by boklm):

 Replying to [comment:4 gk]:
 > Hrm, that seems like a ton of work. What do you think? Should we squeeze
 that into 9.0? Or could that wait for, say, 9.5? Does not fixing that
 actually break things for users in the sense that Tor Browser becomes
 unusable or is it just a poorer experience?

 Maybe that doing all of the packages rebuilding in a single `projects
 /wheezy-backports/`, using the same source packages as mozilla, won't be
 so much work. But maybe there are more complications to do that, so I'm
 not sure.

 I tried running the alpha on a Debian 9 with Gnome on Wayland, and it
 started correctly (with the workaround for #31646). It seems it is using
 Xwayland automatically.

 So it doesn't look like it makes Tor Browser unusable, so that probably
 could wait for a version 9.5.
