Systemwide Desktop File Name Change Breaks Third Party Configurations

Description:

Update to Firefox 133.0.3-1 breaks configurations that are tied to the old desktop file. In my case, my KDE Quicklaunch shortcut now gives the error: "The file or folder /usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop does not exist."

Additional info:

This issue can be mitigated by updating configurations to use the new location (/usr/share/applications/org.mozilla.firefox.desktop).

  • package version(s): firefox 133.0.3-1

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Install the Firefox 133.0.3-1 update.
  2. Software configurations depending on the old location (/usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop) will not function until updated to the new location (/usr/share/applications/org.mozilla.firefox.desktop).
