Its even worse when you force Firefox to use wayland its icon doesn't even show.

Edit: Oh since everyone now is confused; I only have the flatpak version of Firefox installed yet it doesn't use the pinned icon and doesn't even use the firefox icon under wayland at all.

looks more like a KDE issue rather than a flatpak issue

    I use flatpak and I actually like it. It is one of the ways I can get up to date packages on Debian.

    I don't get it. Do you have two versions of Firefox installed?

    Don't know about the OP, but I only have one version installed. If I don't have it open, a single icon shows on the task bar. If I press that icon, FF opens and a second icon shows up, that represents only the opened FF, while the original icon remains.

    What are you talking about ? isn't the firefox icon on the left a standard app from a distro repo instead of a flatpak like the one on the right ?

    In that particular screenshot I believe you’re right: the one on the left is Firefox ESR while the icon on the right is whatever flatpak version available.

    But I know what OP is referring to as it is a open bug currently, the DE don’t doesn’t recognize the launched instance as the pinned program due to the way Flatpak launched apps. Not an issue with Firefox in particular

    i have no issues with flatpak, once i found out how to fix gtk scaling and theming issues on kde. here's a link if anyone has those problems as well https://bugsfiles.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=135846.

    I use the Firefox flatpak on multiple different desktops and distros and I've never seen this issue. All on wayland (no difference on x11 either). Weird.

    I'm using KDE + Firefox Flatpak + Papirus Icons and I haven't had this issue (so far). Could it be an icon pack issue or something similar? Otherwise yeah it's either KDE or the flatpak

    Is this really a flatpak issue? I've been dealing with this with Firefox periodically for many years, even before flatpak

    I never intend to use a flatpak or snap, and avoid them like the plague. The whole concept is incredibly ugly to me, and wasteful of computer resources.
