Firefox built from the ebuilds does not have all the functionality of the distributed firefox binary. It is missing wasm-gc support which is on by default as of 120. I have created a PR: https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/35149 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Visit https://spritely.institute/news/scheme-wireworld-in-browser.html 2. Scroll to the bottom 3. Observe a blank iframe and the console error "CompileError: wasm validation error: at offset 12: gc types not enabled" Actual Results: Inability to run GC wasm such as Guile Hoot in the browser. No options for wasm gc in about:config Expected Results: GC'd wasm works as expected, can use Guile Hoot from a fresh build in version >120 I am new to contributing to Gentoo so guidance is appreciated. Thank you!
