Howto add (snap) apps to cairo-dock and the launch-menu in 3.7.4

Do you mean the firefox.desktop in /usr/share/applications?
Because i have done that but the launcher menu still launches the old firefox. So looks like the launcher menu gets its settings from somewhere else or it needs to be updated after deleting the firefox.desktop in terminal and i dont know how to do that

Ah, yes. I thought you were referring to cairo-dock.
The e16 applications menu gets generated by a perl script: "/usr/share/e16/scripts/e_gen_menu" and has it's result in "~/.e16/menus/menus_apps/Network.menu" and will point to "/usr/lib/firefox-esr/firefox-esr" every time the menus get generated.

So you have 2 options:

  • Edit said "Network.menu" file and risk getting thrown back to the old menu by the generator....or (disadvised) edit the perl script.
  • Uninstall the old firefox and create a symlink from above firefox-esr (recreate the folders) that points to your /opt/firefox
