Hmm, - I don't have a [pa] or [pa_IN] translation in my mozilla-firefox.desktop - I have a [pa_IN] translation in my libreoffice-writer.desktop, but it's not picked up if I run LANG=pa_IN.UTF-8 gnome-shell --replace In neither case do I reproduce this bug.

OK, thanks, running Firefox in pa_IN, I see: $ xprop | grep CLASS WM_CLASS(STRING) = "Navigator", "+>\0070+>\0258" Not only is the second string garbage, it shouldn't be translated at all - WM_CLASS is not supposed to be human readable - it's a string to allow matching on application type. The second string must stay Firefox in all locales in order to allow correct assocation between Firefox and mozilla-firefox.desktop
Seems the branded name is used as WM_CLASS which does not look correct.
