Firefox doesn't pretend to use AppleWebKit. It's actually the only one which identifies itself correctly... mostly, at least:

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:122.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/122.0

While about:support says "Window Protocol: wayland". But that's ok websites shouldn't care anyway.

It's other browsers who send things like "like Gecko" to sneak past old browser-detection code.
