Title:
   Drop "Open a " from .desktop Actions

Status in webbrowser-app package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  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.)
