Also, on the web-app front - I've found out you can install web-apps directly with the latest version of google chrome - super simple!
Hope my waffling here helps another lost user 😉

Okay I think that's as best as it will get, I'm going to leave my /var/lib/flatpak/app/org.mozilla.firefox/current/active/export/share/applications/org.mozilla.firefox.desktop code below should anyone else wish to replicate what I've been able to do:

update-desktop-database ~/.local/share/applications seemed to do the trick!

Also; as these updates are in the lib folder, my hunch is they will be overwritten by any bazzite update?

Okay, some more progress, I've been able to create a .desktop file in /home/rogue/.local/share/applications/ and add it onto my taskbar however it doesn't retain it's independance as a live application. Once it's launched the icon goes empty and the firefox application is merged into my default profile (& without the custom icon) - ideally I'd like these to remain separate applications from the operating systems perspective.

I've just found that I can launch seperate profiles from the command line as below, so perhaps the easiest workaround is to create a script and place that script on my taskbar.
Ideally I'd like to have seperate icons for the seperate profiles but that might be a stretch in bazzite?
