Title:
  Add keywords in the .desktop file

Status in Ubuntu Translations:
  Triaged
Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  This is, for example, needed for a good Unity integration in French.

  In French you can't find Firefox in the Unity dash if you type "browser" because it was translated to "navigateur" in the .desktop .
  This is the correct French translation, but some people still use the word "browser" in their daily life. So we need a way to add it (and similar) as keywords in the desktop file so that they can easily find Firefox in the dash.

  The .desktop file is already translated downstream on a strange
  fashion (see [1]) so I'm not sure if I can just submit a patch as
  explained here[2].

  Note: there is the same problem in Thunderbird
