Bug Description

This happens on the latest GNOME Software 3.34.2 on Ubuntu Focal. When right clicking some app in the GNOME Shell Overview mode and clicking "Show Details", its details page cannot be found. Instead, a "Sorry! There are no details for that application." error is displayed. In some cases, details page for another app is displayed instead (see comment #2). This happens for example with the preinstalled GNOME Logs app.

This also happens for Firefox although it is installed from the Ubuntu repositories, not Snap Store. But this can be another issue (I remember that Firefox also had some issues with its details page in GNOME Software also on Fedora some time ago).

It seems that not only the Snap apps are matched incorrectly or not found when clicking "Show Details". For example showing details for the preinstalled "TeXInfo" app opens page for a "System Info" from Cinnamon and when clicking a "Source" drop-down list in header of the page, there is around ~30 different sources for various settings-related apps displayed.
