I want to add my own .desktop file to the Unity Launcher. I created firejailFirefox.desktop in ~/.local/share/applications/:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Name=firejailFirefox.desktop
Icon=firefox
Exec=firejail firefox %U
Terminal=false
StartupNotify=false
OnlyShowIn=Unity;

Then I go in the Dash (Windows key and typed the name of the application) and drag and drop it to the Unity Launcher. But now the firefox icon appears twice when I click on my firejailFirefox Launcher icon. How to get only one icon after starting firejail firefox from Launcher?

$ lsb_release -a

  • Why not make an alias in .bashrc: ("alias firefox=firejail firefox %u") so you launch with firefox and it will run in firejail – George Udosen Sep 10 '17 at 20:42
  • Another I see %U when in my firefox desktop file I see %u... – George Udosen Sep 10 '17 at 20:44
  • @George, create an alias in .bashrc does not work, if I start firefox through my firejailFirefox.desktop Luncher icon. Did you tried it. Maybe firejailFirefox.desktop is using a Terminal with different setup. – Hölderlin Sep 10 '17 at 21:23
