different Firefox URL loads decorator or not

i have set up icons to start Firefox with different URLs to view different weather radar pages. the .desktop files are alike except for name, comment, workspace number, and URL. what i get is a difference in window decoration. here are the files i have:

/home/phil/Desktop/96-weather.desktop:

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Name=PBZ
Comment=Pittsburgh and Wheeling weather radar
Exec=/usr/host/bin/ws 16 firefox -p generic-16 -no-remote file:///home/share/radar-pbz.html
Icon=firefox
Terminal=false
StartupNotify=false

/home/share/radar-pbz.html:

<html>
<head>
<title>PBZ Radar</title>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="100">
</head>
<body>
<img width=801 height=937 src="https://radar.weather.gov/ridge/standard/KPBZ_loop.gif">
</html>

/home/phil/Desktop/97-weather.desktop:

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Name=RLX
Comment=Huntington and Charleston weather
Exec=/usr/host/bin/ws 17 firefox -p weather-17 -no-remote file:///home/share/radar-rlx.html
Icon=firefox
Terminal=false
StartupNotify=false

/home/share/radar-rlx.html:

<html>
<head>
<title>RLX Radar</title>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="100">
</head>
<body>
<img width=801 height=937 src="https://radar.weather.gov/ridge/standard/KRLX_loop.gif">
</html>

the results i get can be seen at http://ipal.net/pbz.png and http://ipal.net/rlx.png

Firefox has the top (gray) decorator on the PBZ image but not on the RLX image. how does that get turned on or off? or is this a Firefox issue?

edit 1:

the script at /usr/host/bin/ws sets the specified workspace from the given number and executes the given command (the command is optional). i can provide the script if desired.
