Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox-3.5

OS: Ubuntu 8.04.3 Hardy Heron
Firefox-3.5 installed from ubuntu-mozilla-daily PPA version:
3.5.1~hg20090713r26052+nobinonly-0ubuntu1~umd1~hardy

The window class reports as "Navigator", "Shiretoko"
This hinders some utilities(compiz) to act on windows based on their CLASS/title.

I have attached a xprop dump further down in this bug

$ xprop | grep WM_CLASS
WM_CLASS(STRING) = "Navigator", "Shiretoko"

=> WM_CLASS should be compatible with Firefox.
