Public bug reported:

The desktop shortcut doesn't show up in my application list after
installing. To troubleshoot I played around with
~/.local/share/applications/firefox-developer.desktop and found that
changing the Exec line from

Exec=firefox-developer

to

Exec=/home/force/.local/share/umake/bin/firefox-developer

Fixed it. Here's my complete firefox-developer.desktop before and after:

Before (does not work):

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Name=Firefox Developer Edition
Icon=/home/force/.local/share/umake/web/firefox-dev/browser/chrome/icons/default/default128.png
TryExec=/home/force/.local/share/umake/web/firefox-dev/firefox
Exec=firefox-developer
Comment=Firefox Aurora with Developer tools
Categories=Development;IDE;
Terminal=false
StartupWMClass=Firefox Developer Edition


After (works):

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Name=Firefox Developer Edition
Icon=/home/force/.local/share/umake/web/firefox-dev/browser/chrome/icons/default/default128.png
TryExec=/home/force/.local/share/umake/web/firefox-dev/firefox
Exec=/home/force/.local/share/umake/bin/firefox-developer
Comment=Firefox Aurora with Developer tools
Categories=Development;IDE;
Terminal=false
StartupWMClass=Firefox Developer Edition
