Description Alessandro Astone 2023-10-06 17:49:52 UTC 
The `firefox` package installs 3 desktop files:
firefox.desktop
firefox-wayland.desktop
firefox-x11.desktop

firefox-wayland.desktop and firefox-x11.desktop can't be launched because their Exec paths don't exist, as they are respectivly part of the `firefox-wayland` and `firefox-x11` packages

Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Fedora Blocker Bugs Application 2023-10-06 17:54:38 UTC 
Proposed as a Blocker for 39-final by Fedora user aleasto using the blocker tracking app because:

 Two criteria possibly fit:

- "Apps MUST have exactly one app launcher - ie. two launchers to two separate parts of the same app is not allowed."
from https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Workstation/Guidelines/Applications_and_Launchers#For_applications:

- "For all release-blocking desktop / arch combinations, the following applications must start successfully and withstand a basic functionality test: web browser [...] If there are multiple applications of the same type (e.g. several web browsers), the primary/default one must satisfy the requirements. [...] Additionally, for Fedora Workstation on the x86_64 architecture, all applications installed by default which can be launched from the Activities menu must meet this requirement."
