Duplicate icons in panel #1781

There is a thread with the explanation here:
https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=24090

Without the StartupWMClass attribute in the desktop file, duplicate icons will appear on the panel if you have Pale Moon as a favourite.

This had already been updated but the problem is it does not work when in double quotes on some systems. Unquoted value works.

From the PR suggesting Pale moon , unquoted:

Did not work for me with the lower case.

Can someone please figure out why Pale moon would work and pale moon would not? What about Pale Moon? Isn't it just ignoring the "Moon" part in effect without the quotes?

I'd prefer not to break setups to fix others.

When I launch the application from the favourite icon on the panel without the StartupWMClass in the desktop file:

xprop | grep -i class
WM_CLASS(STRING) = "Navigator", "Pale moon"

Pale moon with the capital P is correct, both me and the user in the thread reported it with a capital P.

I have looked at a lot of .desktop files and none of them put the values in quotes.
I'm fairly positive this will work for most users:
StartupWMClass=Pale moon

Change was merged but should be verified.

Works for me.

Probably a little unrelated, but I noticed this isn't even included in the tarball release?
I was using the Fedora COPR repo listed on the palemoon website but that hasn't been updated in close to a year and did not allow me to update from the help menu, I'd highly reccomend removing the COPR repo as a reccomendation.

Might be useful to convert the install instructions here into a shell script and include the .desktop file as well: http://linux.palemoon.org/help/installation/

Can also do a clickable installer with something like the following:

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Name=Install Pale Moon
GenericName=Install Pale Moon
Comment=Install Pale Moon Web Browser
Exec=bash -c "cd \"$(dirname %k)\" && chmod +x _install.sh && ./_install.sh && zenity --info --text='Pale Moon Web Browser has been installed.'"
Icon=icons/updater.png
Terminal=false
Type=Application
X-Desktop-File-Install-Version=0.24
