I can observe the problem with several applications:
- Firefox (firefox.desktop)
- Chromium as a snap (chromium_chromium.desktop)
- VLC (vlc.desktop)
However gedit doesn't appear affected.

Title:
"unable to find firefox.desktop" when clicking "Show Details" on the
Firefox menu (top)
Status in gnome-software package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
When a user tries to open the menu that is on the top, next to
Activities button, and clicks "Show Details", it opens GNOME Software,
but stays on the loading bar for a while then it says "Unable to find
firefox.desktop".
However, if I opened GNOME Software to search for Firefox, there are
two entries for Firefox, one from Ubuntu repo, one from Snap. I know
that Firefox existed on GNOME Software, but it seems weird that it
won't be able to search for "firefox.desktop."
