[Solved] Opening Firefox Developer Edition opens vanilla firefox

I have both firefox and firefox-developer-edition installed on my system. Both versions worked fine, but from some point regular firefox started opening instead of firefox dev edition even when I selected firefox dev edition in GNOME. How can I fix this?

You can copy the .desktop files from /usr/share/applications to your ~/.local/share/applications of the one not working (development version) then edit that .desktop file to point to the proper bin files.

I also have this problem but copying the .desktop file does not work. Any other way to get this working again?

edit: Seemed to fix my problem. was something to do with my browser profile
