Description:

When launch Firefox via a dock like Plank - it now shows my original pinned icon along with a lower resolution version of the icon that represents the running process.

Additional info:

Package Version: 68.0.1-1

Steps to reproduce:

1. Downgrade Firefox to any version prior to 68.0.1-1
2. Install Plank
3. Pin Firefox on the Plank Dock
4. Upgrade Firefox to 68.0.1-1
5. Launch Firefox
6. Look at the Firefox Icons in Plank

Commentary:

I was able to work around this by copying /usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop to ~/.local/share/applications/firefox.desktop and changing the StartupWMClass from "firefox" to "Firefox". Plank works fine for me after that.

It appears this change was made quite intentionally based on this commit:

https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/commit/trunk?h=packages/firefox&id=95da120484bdbdb7408fa8744e1a031149e57a4e

Is this something Plank needs to be updated to be able to deal with, or was the change made in error?
This task depends upon

I had the same problem with 68.0.1-1. It started yesterday with the update. The fix above worked great for me; thank you.
