Bug#894357: Fwd: Bug#894357: firefox: no Debian Menu System entry

[Alex ARNAUD]

What you're asking to us is to support a deprecated feature since 2015, 
see: https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2015/09/msg00000.html

You should report a bug against the program that doesn't support the 
desktop file specification.

Best regards,
Alex.
