Bug Description

Right-click on Firefox in Unity's Dash (the strip on the left side of the screen).
There are two custom Actions: "Open a New Window" and "Open a New Private Window".

I propose that the "Open a " prefix be dropped.

This provides greater consistency with other apps which just use "New Window" or "New Document" Actions. Examples include epiphany-browser, gedit, LibreOffice and Nautilus.

It also provides greater consistency with Firefox's own menus which have those 2 actions withou the "Open a" prefix.

See bug 1668730 for chromium-browser and bug 1668699 for webbrowser-app.
