Change Firefox desktop file
Summary
Recent Firefox desktop file (firefox.desktop) does not comply with DBus/Gnome search provider rules thus Firefox can't provide DBus Gnome search service.
We should change Firefox desktop file from firefox.desktop to org.mozilla.firefox.desktop.

- Targeted release: Fedora Linux 40

Detailed Description
Firefox needs to provide desktop file in expected format to pair DBus service and Gnome search service together to make Gnome search service work.
Feedback
Benefit to Fedora
We'll fix already broken feature.
Scope

Desktop file name is changed in Firefox 121.0.

Fedora Workstation needs update Firefox desktop name (hardcoded in gnome-shell) to correctly place Firefox to Gnome taskbar as default application.

No need to coordinate with rel-eng.
