#15882: Tor Browser shows up as Firefox in Ubuntu dash/launcher

On Debian (with Gnome), Tor Browser always showed up using the green,
obvious Tor Browser icon (provided as tor-browser_en-
US/Browser/browser/icons/mozicon128.png).
For some reason, on Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit with Unity (v 7.2.4) if I start
Tor Browser using the new "start-tor-browser.desktop" file, whether run
from the terminal or by double-clicking, it simply attaches to the Firefox
icon and treats it like a second instance of Firefox. It does not get its
own icon using the provided "mozicon128.png".
Even when I drag the .desktop file into the launcher and click it, it
still attaches the process to the Firefox icon.
This might lead to confusion for users who run Firefox in a normal session
and Tor Browser concurrently and they might inadvertently enter
information intended for TBB into their normal Firefox or vice versa.
As far as I can tell, it's a purely visual issue, but from a design
perspective, I would think it'd be advantageous to keep the two identities
as separate as possible, including in the launcher / dash.
