This narrative should give you some clue:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/11462

Find a file like e.g. mozilla-firefox.desktop that will look similar to this:
...
Exec=firefox %u
Icon=firefox
Terminal=false
Type=Application
StartupWMClass=Firefox-bin
MimeType=text/html;text/xml;application/xhtml+xml;application
/vnd.mozilla.xul+xml;text/mml;
StartupNotify=true
X-Desktop-File-Install-Version=0.15
Categories=Network;WebBrowser;
