Firefox won't stay in the Plank dock

I've installed firefox-esr-bin from the AUR because I dislike the newest Firefox look. I don't think it would affect the problem, but I run the Fluxbox window manager with lxpanel and plank. When I launch Firefox, either from the menu on the lxpanel or by hitting Alt-F2 and typing firefox-esr, there is no keep in dock option when right clicking on the Firefox icon that correctly appears in the dock. I tried to manaully create an entry named firefox.dockitem under ~/.config/plank/dock1/launchers with the following contents:

[PlankItemsDockItemPreferences]
Launcher=file:///usr/share/applications/Firefox ESR.desktop

and then changed ~/.config/plank/dock1/settings and added ;;firefox.dockitem on the end of the line "DockItems=".

Firefox did not appear on plank, and just to make sure I killed plank and started it again.

Any ideas on how I can lock Firefox to the plank?

High solas9817,

I think the problem is the space in the filepath?
