      The icons are in different folder for the version 102.0b2 (64-bit). I can find it in: /usr/local/firefox_dev/browser/chrome/icons/default/default128.png

      I could install it with the proposed modification. Yet it always opened a new tab with the following address:
      http://www.xn--class=firefoxdev-bg6i.com/
      No idea what this is, and I just really understand well a 25% of the proposed solution code. Yet I just changed the ” –'” in ” –class=firefoxdev” for a ” –” (as I haven’t seen the previous before) and now it is working normally, without the annoying tab…
      So the final exec line is:
      Exec=/usr/local/firefox_dev/firefox –class=firefoxdev

      I add ” –class=firefoxdev” to the exec command, otherwise Gnome Shell will still group it together with regular Firefox
