If you have only one monitor, as lots of people do (especially if they're on a laptop on the go), when you want to share your screen with Firefox under Wayland, you get this:
That dialog's set of two buttons might seem visually misleading to non-technical users, because the "Single window" button has a blue selection highlight around it, so it could be mistaken as being selected (I know we geeks could tell the "Entire screen" button is depressed, but even then that's still a bit confusing).
But then even if you are aiming to share the "entire screen", you still can't immediately share it. You have to click the "Built-in display" thing even though it's the only choice. Once you click "Affichage intégré" ("Built-in display"), you get the working "Share" button (and note that the selection highlight doesn't go away from "Single Window" even then):
This feels like an unnecessary step, and an especially confusing one for non-technical users, for which the "Built-in display" and its clickability are not immediately obvious, from what I've seen; it is much more obvious when there is more than 1 choice available (especially since monitors then have device names).
The computer knows I have only one screen to share, so why is it asking me to choose between a possibility of 1? It would be more helpful to give me a preview thumbnail (issue #333) of the whole screen in that spot if you want to fill the space, and if needed it can also show a label above it that says "Your entire screen will be shared: " ...and immediately unlock the Share button when there is no choice to be made anyway?

I don't quite understand what session restore is about, isn't that about remembering the last used user choice? In my case I don't want that, I still want to be able to tell the application whether I want to pick an app window or the whole screen, but I want it to not require extra clicks if there's only one "whole screen" to be picked from.
If you think this is a separate issue still, then yeah I could copy-paste it into a gitlab ticket I guess.
