I agree. Automatic renaming is not documented and one can not really
expect that it changes the name.
I noticed that there is a warning on the terminal if that happens
("Warning: Sandbox name changed to firefox-1"), but users might start it
via script or the desktop and will not see the warning.
I opened an issue upstream to change this behaviour.
Thanks for the report!

Kind regards,
