i am trying one last time on this. The issue here is different then me just trying to identify my Nightly app different form my release build. The issue is that local builds and developer builds for Linux when Run under Linux/Wayland by default if they cant figure out what branding they should use default to using the official release branding. This is entirely the incorrect default. We use to default at one time to just calling the app browser and having an icon that just looked like the earth. perhaps need something like that. Defaulting for any build you think you can't identify to being an official release is just wrong.

This is not something in control of Firefox. We try to set the right icon and so on but that's just not implemented on Wayland, see bug 1751153.

The other bug would be bug 1530052, but that still wouldn't fix the icon without the right .desktop file, as described above.

The issue is not that I don't get the banding that I expect. It is that the default for I don't recognize this build to give it official branding is just wrong.

J only want the default branding to not identify an unidentifiable thing to default to being an official release.

If you can not figure out what it is, branding it as an official release is entirely just wrong.

And before answering any further you need to talk to the Mozilla lawyers. You are very close to losing trademark rights to the Firefox name and the icon because of this.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Widget: Gtk' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please revert this change in case you think the bot is wrong.

That's hilarious, but no. The window manager chooses to group windows based on the program name that GTK gives it. That is based on gAppData->name which is firefox for both the Nightly and Release channel. So the only potential fix here is bug 1530052
