Bug ID: 491754
Summary: firefox icon behavior not as expected for grouping and
sorting after REBOOT
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.27.11
Platform: Kubuntu
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Task Manager and Icons-Only Task Manager
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: droid...@gmail.com
CC: qydwhotm...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
the pinned icon behavior of the firefox icon in the icon only task manager is
not as expected after a REBOOT... the previously pinned icon no longer groups
new windows and it can no longer be shorted manually by dragging... and if
unpinned, leaves behind a generic icon image rather than going away.
instead, after a REBOOT and a new window is opened, a new icon appears that
collects and groups all the new windows, leaving the previously pinned icon
abandoned.
to resolve, unpin all the icons, close firefox, navigate to the firefox app in
the apps menu and pin to taskmanager... from there the icon can sorted, used to
launch firefox and collect new windows
until the next REBOOT.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. pin firefox icon to the taskmanager
2. REBOOT
OBSERVED RESULT
previously pinned icon no longer behaves normally and a new (duplicate icon)
appears in the task manager.
EXPECTED RESULT
previous icon would remain associated with the CURRENT version of firefox and
behave normally for sorting and grouping functions.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
previous bug report https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=491643 was in
reference to firefox updates and the issue was closed based on the application
meta data changing between updates (presumably confusing the task manager)...
but this new observed and reproducible behavior occurs with the exact same
version of firefox every time you reboot.
this also happened in kubuntu 22.04 but fixed itself at some point, perhaps
when backports was enabled and don't exactly recall.
