Long live Firefox and high praises to all those who develop, maintain and package it.
It's literally the opposite. Windows aren't allowed to position themselves on Wayland (because it's unsafe or something). Window state save restoration must implemented by the compositor itself. Not sure about GNOME, but KDE doesn't have that.
Actually KDE has a feature where you can set which display any app shows on, and if it should be maximized horizontally or vertically or both.
I use that for Firefox specifically, as I always like it on my secondary monitor.
Just right click on the title bar of any application to get to those settings.
(I'm using KDE on Fedora.)
It’s one of those bits that haven’t been done yet. The protocol extension is being discussed as there are a lot more different use-cases than one would think and a number of ways to do it. Wayland is great but nothing is perfect and this is one of its weaknesses: evolving it takes time as we’re afraid of getting it wrong.
Better this way honestly
