Generic Wayland icon appears in Task Switcher instead of Firefox icon
Firefox does not seem to be properly configured for Wayland on KDE Plasma 6.x systems. The generic "Wayland" logo appears in task switcher instead of the Firefox logo. Firefox is the only program I have with this issue. Setting desktop name (org.mozilla.firefox) as a property in the Window and Application Manager settings does not resolve the issue.

It works fine in X11. This only happens in Wayland sessions. OS = Kubuntu 24.10 (Ubuntu Studio). KDE Plasma Version 6.1.5, KDE Frameworks 6.6.0, QT Version 6.6.2, Wayland.

No issue in X11. Only in Wayland sessions. OS is Kubuntu 24.10 (Ubuntu Studio). KDE Plasma 6.1.5.
Not a browser issue, but it is a common issue. https://www.google.com/search?q=Generic+Wayland+icon

Thank you for the response. That fix is something I already did - it takes care of the taskbar icon, but not the icon in the task switcher. For whatever reason, this affects only Firefox. I'm not having this task switcher icon issue with any other program.
