User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:34.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/34.0 Build ID: 20141201171754 Steps to reproduce: On every update of Firefox, its icon is displayed twice in Plank launcher bar (default launcher of ElementaryOS). The issue is described here in more detail: http://kb.openstudioproject.com/content/fix-double-google-chrome-icon-docky-and-plank A solution is to add the following line to 'firefox.desktop': StartupWMClass=Firefox Would it be possible to add this line? I contacted the package manager of my Arch Linux distribution and he responded that 'firefox.desktop' should not be modified on a distribution level but upstream. Thanks for your comments! Robert
There's already a StartupWMClass line here: http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/mozapps/installer/linux/rpm/mozilla.desktop which should end up being "firefox-bin", AIUI. Not sure if/how that's wrong, or whether it matches the one in ArchLinux, or how that one's generated. Can you clarify some of these questions?

Hi Gijs, Thanks for pointing that out. I think I need to file another bug for the Arch Linux package. It seems it does ship its own firefox.desktop: https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/plain/trunk/firefox.desktop?h=packages/firefox Please keep this issue open until I report back the result from the Arch Bug tracker. Thank you, Robert

It seems StartupWMClass is not present in the .desktop file of the Flatpak version.
Adding StartupWMClass=Firefox in the desktop entry fixes the duplicate icon on Plank & elementaryOS.

Seems this is bug 1640153.

It seems StartupWMClass is missing the .desktop file of the Snap version too.

Do you mind to create such patch? How-to is here:

Unfortunately I'm really not a developer, only found the problem, but don't know the structure of firefox or snap good enough
