First review came out of the Snap Store:

> desktop interfaces (unity7,x11) specified without a corresponding meta/gui/*.desktop
> file. If using snapcraft, please see https://snapcraft.io/docs/build-snaps/metadata#fixed-assets.
> Otherwise, please provide a desktop file in meta/gui/*.desktop (it should reference one of
> the 'apps' from your snapcraft/snap.yaml). lint-snap-v2_meta_gui_desktop
> 
> Please provide a desktop file and reupload.
> 
> Thank you for uploading a snap!

This is a first revision. The desktop file come from the one they used at Ubuntu[1], so the Ubuntu people won't see any change. I manually replaced the variables because:
* MOZ_OFFICIAL_BRANDING => We currently only ship official builds
* @MOZ_DISPLAY_NAME@ => Same thing. I replaced it by "Firefox"
* @MOZ_APP_NAME@ => Thanks to our snapcraft.yaml[2], we know the command line will be "firefox" alone.

We should probably depend on the l10n toolchain. I filed bug 1390152 to keep track of this.

I tested the patch locally with an ubuntu docker instance. I crafted the snap, and extracted it[1] and verified that the file:
> squashfs-root/meta/gui/firefox.desktop
existed.

snapcraft didn't report any additional error.

Landed on beta at: https://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-beta/rev/5f81b09432e0f866815ef111c2bc761128adcd53

Landing on central will follow after the next beta, if it worked.
For 56.0b3 build1 we got:
The path 'prime/distribution/firefox.desktop' set for 'desktop' in 'firefox' does not exist.

Hmmm, that part was working for me on a local ubuntu docker image. I ran snapcraft v2.33. Maybe the real docker image is too old. I'm looking into this.
My previous guess was wrong. We use the latest snapcraft client, because we perform a `dist-upgrade` at each run.

That was working on another instance because I hadn't run `runme.sh` but copy and pasted some commands. I reproduce the error locally, on the real docker image, with `runme.sh`. This fixes the missing desktop file.

Oops, I just realized that landed only on beta (56) back then. I should fix it in 57 too.
