Thank you, Mihai! I have confirmed it works in Firefox v 17 on Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit. Here is an example of the working 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 --class Daily -P Daily Name=Daily Icon=/home/dngrsone/.icons/Daily.gif -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1031192 Title: unity no longer allows separate launcher icons per firefox profile Status in Unity: Won't Fix Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released 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.
