After installing the non-snap version of firefox using apt install, I added an icon and a firefox.desktop file, validated it and installed it, but firefox did not show up in brisk-menu. The desktop file is present in /usr/share/applications/
These are the commands I used to install (Please find files below):
When navigating with caja to /usr/share/applications/, firefox starts as expected.
A workaround to make it appear is to name the file not firefox.desktop but something else. For example firefox-foo.desktop
With that filename the entry shows up in brisk-menu as expected.
Also, when installing firefox.desktop without sudo it installs to ~/.local/share/applications/ and does show up in brisk-menu.
Another workaround to make firefox appear in brisk menu is to invoke mate menu and enable a predefined firefox entry from there. Once enabled a firefox.desktop appears in ~/.local/share/applications/
For this workaround, commands from above or not required at all.
Does someone have any idea, why firefox.desktop is reserved when installing onto the system?
