Public bug reported:

Using the firefox package from ppa:ubuntu-mozilla-daily/firefox-aurora,
GNOME Shell fails to match running Firefox windows to the Firefox
launcher icon. This is because the Firefox windows report a WM_CLASS of
‘Firefox-dev’, which GNOME Shell by default tries to match against the
basename of the firefox.desktop file (‘firefox’).

This can be fixed by adding ‘StartupWMClass=Firefox-dev’ to
firefox.desktop for the Aurora packages.

(The firefox-trunk package from ppa:ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa is not
affected because its WM_CLASS ‘Firefox-trunk’ matches the basename of
firefox-trunk.desktop.)
