Firefox flatpak and Firefox have the same name, same icon so it's hard to distinguish them in the UI.
Could it be possible to add some hint on the name (like a suffix "flatpak") and/or the icon ?

Flatpaks emulates mostly what we've done in Snap and AFAIK, we have the same problem on Snap.

One possible avenue to fixing this probably involves changing https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/file/tip/taskcluster/docker/firefox-flatpak/org.mozilla.firefox.desktop#l3 to "Firefox Flatpak" or something like this. Worth giving this a try.

Shouldn't this be the purview of Flatpak or the DE to render a differentiative sub-icon over that which the .desktop file refers to (like Windows does for .lnk and .url files)? Otherwise, this needs to be considered by every project with multiple installer types.
