Firefox always had a --class option to set WM_CLASS, because it's a standard GTK+ option. It was broken in Firefox at some point, but it was fixed: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=496653
I tested the --class option on Firefox 16 and it works. The Unity launcher correctly switches between profiles when the desktop entry has the same value for StartupWMClass as the --class option. ** Bug watch added: Mozilla Bugzilla #496653 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=496653 ** Changed in: firefox (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Fix Released ** Changed in: unity (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1031192 Title: unity no longer allows separate launcher icons per firefox profile To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/1031192/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
