What happened?

Steps to reproduce:

  • Install Pop!_OS 24.04 with the Cosmic DE
  • Install the Flatpak version of Waterfox (since no apt repo seems to exist)
  • Pin Waterfox to the dock/panel
  • Click the icon to launch the app
  • A second instance of the app will spawn without an icon. Interacting with the icon version such as clicking it to open a minimized window will spawn a new instance of Waterfox rather than the expected behavior.
  • This behavior is consistent and persists through uninstalling/reinstalling Waterfox, reboots, etc.
  • Other flatpak apps do not behave in this manner under Cosmic, making me think this is a WF issue, not a Cosmic issue.
  • This behavior does not occur in Pop!_OS 22.04.
  • This behavior is not reproducible on either the deb or flatpak versions of Firefox.
  • Pinning this icon-less instance of Waterfox to the dock/panel causes it to disappear and alt-tab is the only sign that it is still running.

Reproducible?

  • I have checked that this issue cannot be reproduced on Mozilla Firefox.
