firefoxlauncherunity
All,
For some reason, a second launcher icon when I run Firefox:
(attempting to add image)
Has anyone seen this before?
Also: an open firefox window does not show up when cycling through applications using ALT+TAB…weird!
EDIT: After restarting, I was able to remove all firefox launcher icons. Now, however, when I opened firefox, there was NO launcher icon showing. Restarting firefox, now there is a launcher icon. Perhaps the problem is resolved…

Add a StartupWMClass string into your .desktop file. Use xprop command to get this class. For example :
$ xprop|grep WM_CLASS
WM_CLASS(STRING) = "sun-awt-X11-XFramePeer", "java-lang-Thread"
$ cat /usr/share/applications/PHPStorm.desktop | grep StartupWM
StartupWMClass=sun-awt-X11-XFramePeer

I have a GoFlex which I changed the display Icon by adding two things to the hard drive.
1) Create an Image Icon or import an icon of your choice that represents your hard drive. I recommend no larger than (128 x 128 pixels) and a transparent background.
Mine is like this:
2) Name it "whatever.ico" and save it to the hard drive's "/" partition
3) Create a text file with the name "autorun.inf" and in the the file place 2 lines of text like this:
[autorun] icon=\whatever.ico
4) save the text file to the same "/" partition.
Now this is how mine is displayed and when I take to my win7 computer it is the same there too:
Shows on the panel also.

Had similar situation with chrome, where after installation of chrome web apps (gmail, gdocs etc), launcher would show a second chrome icon and when using the second icon chrome would not show using ALT+TAB. Although if starting chrome by original icon it would show cycling through applications using ALT+TAB
However my fix was unlock all chrome icons from launcher then start chrome and lock new icon to launcher. Duplicate icon did not show up again
Try it with FF, it may solve your duplicate icon too.
