Ok, I had an interesting discovery:

  • I had a pinned icon on the "Task Manager" in KDE to launch Firefox Stable (which I had initially from snap).
  • Yesterday I switched from Firefox Stable to Firefox Beta by using snap refresh --channel=latest/beta firefox
  • When launching Firefox with this icon, it would then go to it's own icon on the "Task Manager" with the Wayland icon shown.
  • This morning I tried launching Firefox Beta from the "Application Launcher" - and the icon in the "Task Manager" then showed up correctly.
  • I un-pinned and re-pinned the "Task Manager" icon, and now it also works correctly

This is a bit confusing behaviour for users, but seems like it might be an issue on the KDE side, not on the Firefox side.
