Title:
  unity no longer allows separate launcher icons per firefox profile

Status in Unity:
  Won't Fix
Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  As the subject line reads, I have a number of different profiles for
  the Firefox browser.  Each profile has its own configuration, set of
  bookmarks and add-ons (or lack thereof).

  I use each one in a  different way.

  I created a launcher for each profile which I have on the Unity bar.
  Each launcher has a unique name and icon, and I can and do run
  mulitple profiles at the same time using the --no-remote switch

  Up until a recent update (Jun 12), I could launch an instance and the
  launcher would own that profile window.  I could access the window
  from any desktop by hitting that particular launcher icon.  Now,
  however, the main Firefox launcher takes ownership of all Firefox
  windows regardless of profile and I can't zip quickly between
  profiles.

  I understand that making Firefox blind to windows on other desktop can
  be a desired feature, however, I would like to retain that ability--
  at least be able to capture and own an instance with a separate
  launcher.

  An example of my launcher code:

  [Desktop Entry]
  Version=1.0
  Type=Application
  Terminal=false
  Icon[en_US]=/home/dngrsone/.icons/Daily.gif
  Name[en_US]=Daily
  Exec=firefox -no-remote -P Daily
  Name=Daily
  Icon=/home/dngrsone/.icons/Daily.gif
