Show a Launcher for Application When It Is Not Running [SOLVED]

I recently installed Arch with Gnome3. I wanted to try out KDE so I installed that. I am trying to use the 'Show a Launcher for Firefox When It Is Not Running' feature. As you can see in the image there is no icon for Firefox, but when I mouse hover you can see it is supposed to be there. It functions as a launcher correctly. I just can't see where it is. I pinned chromium just fine as seen in the image. Thanks for the help.

Re: Show a Launcher for Application When It Is Not Running [SOLVED]

this feature seems somewhat broken, i had to manually edit the file .kde4/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc to get rid of some unwanted launchers...
you might want to take a look at the entries like "[Containments][1][Applets][5][Configuration][Launchers]" and adjust them manually.

Awesome advice. I checked through plasma-desktop-appletsrc and modified the Firefox launcher, which had some long nasty strings, to look like the chromium one, now it looks great!

Thanks for the help.
