For example, I have a `firefox-test.desktop` file in `~/.local/share/applications`, that contains: ``` [Desktop Entry] Version=1.0 Name=Firefox-Test StartupWMClass=firetest Exec=firefox --new-instance --no-remote -P Test --class firetest %u Icon=firefox-developer-icon Terminal=false Type=Application MimeType=text/html;text/xml;application/xhtml+xml;application/vnd.mozilla.xul+xml;text/mml;x-scheme-handler/http;x-scheme-handler/https; StartupNotify=true Categories=Network;WebBrowser; Keywords=web;browser;internet;pentest; Actions=new-window;new-private-window; ``` It worked for ages, in many DE, including GNOME in 18.04. But, in 19.04, clicking on my launchers does nothing. On the other hand, the commands works from the terminal: ``` firefox --new-instance --no-remote -P Test --class firetest ``` To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1831384/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
