Bug Description

I am running Weston/Wayland on Ubuntu 18.0.4.

I am able to successfully start the display server:
```
export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/weston
weston --tty 1 &
```

Next, I try to run firefox on it:

```
export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/weston
export GDK_BACKEND=wayland
export MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1
export DISPLAY=wayland-0
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib:/usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/
export WAYLAND_DEBUG=1
export WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-0

firefox \
 --g-fatal-warnings \
 --kiosk \
 --private-window \
 https://bing.com
```

This outputs:

Steps to reproduce:

I run the following on my Ubuntu 18.04 system:

```bash
export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/weston
export GDK_BACKEND=wayland
export MOX_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1
export DISPLAY=wayland-0
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib:/usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/
export WAYLAND_DEBUG=1
export WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-0

firefox \
 --g-fatal-warnings \
 --kiosk \
 --private-window \
 https://bing.com
```

Actual results:

Firefox does not start.

Instead, I get this output, only:
