Are you sure about the mozilla version you are using ? Mozilla has a
tendency to notice that another mozilla is already running, and to
just make that program open a new window instead of starting its own,
so you might be running a different mozilla version without noticing.
All versions of the mozilla browser I have tested ( mozilla,
mozilla-firefox, mozilla-firebird ), have
MozillaFirebird-bin,firefox-bin as their WM_CLASS.

I don't think so. I have still not seen a mozilla version using Gecko
as a WM_CLASS. This would be very weird by the way, since the
WM_CLASS property is about the entire window, while Gecko is only the
HTML renderer.

Thanks for the bug reporting. I have added
MozillaFirebird-bin,firefox-bin to the standard klipper ignore list,
it should appear in the next version of the debian packages.
