Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:138.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/138.0

Steps to reproduce:

  • Install Firefox Developer Edition using the APT repository.
  • Pin Firefox Developer Edition to the taskbar.
  • Launch Firefox Developer Edition.

Actual results:

Firefox Developer Edition launches as a seperate program, not as a window of the pinned Firefox Developer Edition.

Expected results:

Firefox Developer Edition should launch as a program under the pinned shortcut.
(I think this is because the installed firefox-devedition.desktop file under /usr/share/applications declares the StartupWMClass as firefox-aurora, but the process/window is actually called firefox-dev. Changing the StartupWMClass to firefox-dev makes the launched window behave properly. Either the .desktop file or the process name shoud be changed to match the other.)
