--- Comment #1 from Trent M <twilightinz...@gmail.com> ---
Hi. This bug is nearly two years old, and has become an actual problem now due
to the advent of immutable distros where there are actual good reasons to hide
system applications. For example, we are currently struggling with the fact
that the Firefox included in SteamOS--an immutable distro included on the Steam
Deck, which ships Plasma--is six versions behind.
We need to be able to provide instructions to hide that version without
disabling the OS's immutability, and rely on the one from Flathub until Valve
changes their system image to rely on Flathub's build of Firefox. We should be
able to copy firefox.desktop to `~/.local/share/applications` and make changes
to it to hide it, but it doesn't work because of this incorrect behavior. It
seems like we can get the system Firefox to disappear from the Internet section
of Kickoff with `Hidden=true`, but it still appears if you search for it, and
it is still offered as a default web browser.
It seems a lot of other behavior that should allow it to at least be
disambiguated doesn't work. I wanted to change the shortcut's name to "Firefox
(System)" to at least differentiate it from the Flatpak, but that name change
is entirely ignored for no discernible reason. I came looking to see if that
was a reported bug, and instead found this bug report. It could be possible
that a lot of override handling is straight up broken right now, not just
Hidden handling.
