Or, I guess, it could alternatively be fixed by renaming the Aurora
packages to firefox-dev with a firefox-dev.desktop. That might be closer
to upstream’s expectations: Aurora tries very hard to coexist with
stable Firefox rather than replace it. (It creates its own separate
Firefox profile ‘dev-edition-default’, and switches back to it on every
launch unless you turn off the “Allow Firefox Developer Edition and
Firefox to run at the same time” setting.)

Title:
  [firefox-aurora PPA] StartupWMClass=Firefox-dev missing from
  firefox.desktop

Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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.)
