Public bug reported:
The fact that unity pushes me always(!) to the existing firefox window if i hit
the firefox icon is a usability nightmare.
I often group windows on a certain desktop for a certain task - therefore it
would be great to have the possibility to raise
a new window.
The following changes improve the situation - in my opinion this should be the
default:
----
cat /usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop >
~/.local/share/applications/firefox.desktop
cd ~/.local/share/applications/
