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.

    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

    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.

    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

      I use PaperWM extension for GNOME, it does auto-tiling unusual and simple way (but it has very powerful overrides). All apps appear on apps layer, they appear each after one, and any app could be put on scratch level (switch layers or perma-override), scratched apps are always above other apps or on top.
