[Bug 2045820] Re: firefox snap .desktop missing StartupWMClass

[Amin Bandali]

Hello, and sorry for the slow reply here.

The sources for building the Firefox snap are at
https://github.com/canonical/firefox-snap however for the desktop file
we directly use whatever Mozilla provides, which is
'taskcluster/docker/firefox-snap/firefox.desktop' in the Firefox source
tree.

However, there is ongoing work upstream per
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1901703 to unify that and
the other firefox.desktop files across their tree and have them instead
be generated by a call to their 'mach' tool like 'mach repackage
desktop-file' during build time. I believe this new approach also adds a
'StartupWMClass' field to the generated desktop file, so I'll mark this
bug as 'In Progress'.
