Whenever I attempt to run firefox it will not load, claims to not be able to open display, both compiled and firefox-bin behave this way.

Error from firefox-bin:
Code:

Sway is a Wayland compositor, not an X11 server.

If you want to run Firefox under Sway, you must either start XWayland (which is an X11 server) or you must compile Firefox with Wayland support and run it in Wayland mode.

Please post the output of
Code:
emerge --info

I'm embarrassed to say this very obvious fix worked. Thanks, even if it should've been obvious to me.
