Public bug reported:

Start the Web Browser app.
Right-click on its icon in Unity's Dash (the strip on the left side of the screen).
There are two custom Actions: "Open a New Window" and "Open a New Private Window".

I propose that the "Open a " prefix be dropped.

This provides greater consistency with other apps which just use "New
Window" or "New Document" Actions. Examples include epiphany-browser,
gedit, LibreOffice and Nautilus.

In GNOME Shell, Actions show in the Activities Overview. GNOME Shell
includes a default "New Window" action. So in GNOME Shell, the actions
shown include the duplicate "New Window" and "Open a New Window". (Note
that an explicit "New Window" shortcut does not duplicate the default
"New Window" in GNOME Shell as long as the action is named new-window.)
