I think that's something that should be fixed in firefox itself, it
should allow to define a flag to set the windows WM_CLASS or should use
the profile name as the instance name...

Title:
unity no longer allows separate launcher icons per firefox profile
Status in Unity:
Won't Fix
Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
New
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
As the subject line reads, I have a number of different profiles for
the Firefox browser. Each profile has its own configuration, set of
bookmarks and add-ons (or lack thereof).
I use each one in a different way.
I created a launcher for each profile which I have on the Unity bar.
Each launcher has a unique name and icon, and I can and do run
mulitple profiles at the same time using the --no-remote switch
Up until a recent update (Jun 12), I could launch an instance and the
launcher would own that profile window. I could access the window
from any desktop by hitting that particular launcher icon. Now,
however, the main Firefox launcher takes ownership of all Firefox
windows regardless of profile and I can't zip quickly between
profiles.
I understand that making Firefox blind to windows on other desktop can
be a desired feature, however, I would like to retain that ability--
at least be able to capture and own an instance with a separate
launcher.
An example of my launcher code:
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Terminal=false
Icon[en_US]=/home/dngrsone/.icons/Daily.gif
Name[en_US]=Daily
Exec=firefox -no-remote -P Daily
Name=Daily
Icon=/home/dngrsone/.icons/Daily.gif
