You can check the command line in the desktop shortcut to see if there is a trailing '.' appended.

thank you for steering me in the right direction while I did not have a trailing "." I did have something in the line that was causing the problem I use a command to play a sound file when opening my apps I had firefox %u $HOME play /home/user/sound/blah when I remove the $HOME but leave the play command and path it works fine

I kept thinking something was wrong with the firefox install thank you again
