Well our first try for Firefox didn't work. We had a 128x128 app icon in the appropriate hicolor folder. It's a symlink and the appstream issues page warns against using symlinks.
Somehow it works in Debian though and they appear to use symlinks. They also offer extra app icon sizes. Maybe we need to put the original icons in /usr/share/icons/hicolor/ and use symlinks in the other location instead. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to thunderbird in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1682455 Title: thunderbird not available in GNOME Software Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Ubuntu's firefox and thunderbird ship their app icons in /usr/share/pixmaps/ Please move them to /usr/share/icons/hicolor/*/apps/ instead so that these apps can be shown as available for install in GNOME Software.

Essentially, using a freshly installed Ubuntu GNOME 17.04, Thunderbird is not available in GNOME Software (the default software app for this flavour). You cannot find it via search or the packages browser. The only way to install it is via apt-get and even then it doesn't show in Software (see attached picture).
