I created script for Linux, which converts web pages into standalone web applications using firefox as default browser. It works as SSB (site-specific browser) which is implemented through existing mozilla frameworks …

The main window look like this:

I use this command , to make SSB aplications:

firefox --class SSB-{app name} --profile /home/{user}/.local/share/applications/SSB/firefox/{app name} --no-remote {url}

All works fine, except i can’t set icon for my SSB application in taskbar (bottom panel), because mozilla doesn’t alow that…

You can see my problem below, users can’t distinguise mozilla icon from SSB application icon:

I need to be able to set icon trough command, something like this:

firefox --class SSB-{app name} **–profile\_icon {path to icon}** --profile /home/{user}/.local/share/applications/SSB/firefox/{app name} --no-remote {url}

So i’m asking if this can be added by developer?

If setting users ‘profile icon’ can affect mozilla stability (as i read somwhere), maybe you can allow users to turn this on trough preferences in ‘user.js’ file? Thanks.

Alternatively, if it is even possible, Firefox in SSB could assume the favicon of the web app…
