[Bug 1668664] Re: Drop "Open a " from .desktop Actions

** Description changed:

  Right-click on Firefox in Unity's Dash (the strip on the left side of the screen).
  There are two custom Actions: "Open a New Window" and "Open a New Private Window".
  
  I propose that the "Open a " prefix be dropped.
  
  This provides greater consistency with other apps which just use "New
  Window" or "New Document" Actions. Examples include epiphany-browser,
  gedit, LibreOffice and Nautilus.
  
  In GNOME Shell, Actions show in the Activities Overview. GNOME Shell
  includes a default "New Window" action. So in GNOME Shell, the actions
  shown include the duplicate "New Window" and "Open a New Window". (Note
  that an explicit "New Window" shortcut does not duplicate the default
  "New Window" in GNOME Shell as long as the action is named new-window.)
  
  Also, you can drop the OnlyShowIn=Unity; from the Actions since Actions
  are supported in other desktops (GNOME Shell currently ignores that
  anyway).
