This doesn't at all sound like the layout the Xfce menu has. Maybe
your distro has enabled the (for now) unsupported multi-level mode of
it?

In any case, note that the application itself decides where it's
supposed to be put in the menu through its .desktop file.

deskbar-applet appears to be a gnome panel applet. You could try using
it using xfapplet, an xfce panel plugin that enables you to use many
gnome panel plugins in the xfce panel. In any case, I don't really
understand what deskbar-applet has to do with the firefox/epiphany
problem.

Right now there is no recommended browser for Xfce. You may use any you want.
