So this is fixing a security issue? Which one exactly? Is it this one? CVE-2024-10462: Origin of permission prompt could be spoofed by long URL Are we planning todo the same for Icecat? If so, could we have a variant of the browsers in Guix that are less hardened, and would allow opening URLs? I'm using Slack via Flatpack and not being able to open URLs from there or other applications with my browser is a bit tedious.

The presence of %u in the package definition is because the substitute* regexp is sloppy and replaces the whole line instead of @MOZ_APP_NAME@ only. For reasons unknown to me, Firefox stopped shipping this file and deleted it from their repo. I looked around the repo and found toolkit/mozapps/installer/linux/rpm/mozilla.desktop, for the rpm package. Its Exec line is: Exec=@MOZ_APP_NAME@ So I updated the package to use that, and the regexp to match. The patch in #74648 looks fine to me, and I think it should be pushed.
