Is this ticket is a duplicate of bug 369658, or should we keep it open?

Thanks for that, this is interesting information.  I guess I should try to
somehow create a service file for both versions of Firefox, and see if that
helps.

Also, my version of KDE is so outdated at this point that I can perfectly
understand that you don't want to support it any more.

You can read more about the situation here:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=369658#c4

Unfortunately on 5.8.x you're going to have to rename the .desktop file to
Firefox.desktop for things to work. In later releases, the matching would also
work via the revamped StartupWMClass handling.

Are you serious?  Most of the time, I don't even bother to create a menu entry
for an application.  The Alt+F2 menu works just fine for applications symlinked
from ~/bin.  KWin demonstrates that showing the icon for such applications is
perfectly possible.  So, to be frank, I think it is quite ridiculous to not
support this. It is quite surprising as well.  People observing this behavior
will see a bug in KDE, there is no way to *know* that .desktop files are
suddenly considered mandatory by some software.

But, okay, in the interest of making progress let me play my your rules -- it's
your software after all.  I added a menu entry for nightly using KMenuEditor. 
This is what the .desktop file looks like:

$ cat ~/.local/share/applications/firefox-2.desktop 
[Desktop Entry]
Comment=Browse the World Wide Web
Encoding=UTF-8
Exec=/home/r/bin/firefox-nightly
GenericName=Web Browser
Icon=/home/r/bin/firefox.nightly.d/browser/icons/mozicon128.png
MimeType=text/html;text/xml;application/xhtml+xml;application/xml;application/vnd.mozilla.xul+xml;application/rss+xml;application/rdf+xml;image/gif;image/jpeg;image/png;x-scheme-handler/http;x-scheme-handler/https;
Name=Firefox Nightly
NoDisplay=false
Path[$e]=
StartupNotify=true
StartupWMClass=Firefox
Terminal=0
TerminalOptions=
Type=Application
X-GNOME-FullName=Firefox Web Browser
X-KDE-SubstituteUID=false
X-KDE-Username=
X-MultipleArgs=false

The issue remains the same:  I started Firefox Nightly from the KDE menu, and
still, the taskbar panel shows the wrong icon.  Reopening because the reason
given dos not apply any more.

If you install an application in your $HOME you're responsible for putting a
.desktop file specifying the icon in $HOME/.local/share/applications and also
deploying the icon.

There is no icon for this in /usr/share/applications; I installed Nightly by
downloading the tarball and extracting it somewhere.  Sure icons should work
for all applications, not just those installed by root?  Same for Firefox, is
is also just installed in $HOME.

I will attach xprop output for nightly and stable.

Can you please provide the xprop output of the Nightly window (run xprop and
then click the Firefox window) and also the .desktop file of it in
/usr/share/applications and best also provide the one from vanilla Firefox so
we can find something that lets us tell the difference.

The icon in the window is provided by the application as a pixmap whereas task
manager uses the icon name from the application. Mapping windows to application
is quite hard and sometimes fails as shown here.
