Regression?

Yes, but not a Hyprland regression (I think it might have been caused by a Firefox update).

Description

It appears that virtual pointer scrolling does not work on Firefox. When scrolling with wlrctl, all programs scroll, but with Firefox, nothing happens. This is also the case when Firefox is running under XWayland.

Feel free to close this issue if you think that this is a Firefox issue, not Hyperland, but I'm not sure how could Firefox specifically ignore virtual pointer events, while still acting to scrolling of the physical mouse.

How to reproduce

1. Install https://git.sr.ht/~brocellous/wlrctl
2. Bind virtual pointer scroll to a key, for example bind = , o, exec, wlrctl pointer scroll -10 0
3. Focus on a Firefox window
4. Press bound key
5. Note that nothing happens
6. Focus on another (not Firefox) scrollable window
7. Press bound key again
8. It will now scroll

Note that I tried the same steps in sway and they work. So, something seems off with Hyperland <> Firefox interaction.

I have same problem with wlrctl, but ydotool mousemove -w -x 0 -y -1 works fine
