Description

[Tito Griné]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/143.0.0.0 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

1. Go to Settings -> Customize -> App icon
2. Select a different icon from "Default"
3. Install and run extension on Firefox Android

web-ext run -t firefox-android ...

Note: Changing the icon back to "Default" restores the correct behavior.

Actual results:

Command failed with the following error:

Error: Activity class {org.mozilla.firefox/org.mozilla.firefox.App} does not exist.

Expected results:

Command should have succeeded and properly ran the extension on Firefox for Android.

I asked Tito to file this after they discovered that the app icon picker breaks Mozilla's web-ext tooling for web developers.
