The mozilla-firefox ebuilds should create menu entries (those .desktop files)
in /usr/share/applications, not in GNOME-specific folders.

Additionally, mozilla-firefox-bin's menu entry should be "Mozilla Firefox", not
"Mozilla Firefox (bin)". In fact, mozilla-firefox-bin should use the same
.desktop file that mozilla-firefox uses.

I have attached a new .desktop file and updated ebuilds to correct these
problems.

Keith, it's possible these days on Gentoo to install both firefox and
firefox-bin simultaneously, so we need the separate menu entries.  Regarding
the location for the menu entries, I'll get that fixed up, thanks.

ok, all fixed.  I didn't bother to bump the revisions for this change since
it's still ~arch anyway, so I don't see the need to make all testers rebuild. 
Thanks!

I think very few people install mozilla-firefox and mozilla-firefox-bin. I
think adding the "(bin)" to the end of "Mozilla Firefox" to make these few
people happy at the expense of annoying 99% of users is not the right way to do
this.

Two menu items can have the same name; they could both be "Mozilla Firefox",
and one could have a tooltip that said "(precompiled)" at the end of it (in the
Comment field of the .desktop entry).
