~/Downloads is indeed in /etc/firefox/unveil.main and /etc/chromium/unveil.main. Interestingly, it doesn't appear that either Thunderbird nor Midori have a similar unveil file. Interestingly (or not) When running the following, Chromium doesn't appear at all: $ doas locate unveil.main /etc/firefox/unveil.main /usr/local/lib/firefox/browser/defaults/preferences/unveil.main Nor does it in: $ doas locate unveil /etc/firefox/unveil.content /etc/firefox/unveil.gpu /etc/firefox/unveil.main /etc/firefox/unveil.rdd /etc/firefox/unveil.socket /usr/local/lib/firefox/browser/defaults/preferences/unveil.content /usr/local/lib/firefox/browser/defaults/preferences/unveil.gpu /usr/local/lib/firefox/browser/defaults/preferences/unveil.main /usr/local/lib/firefox/browser/defaults/preferences/unveil.rdd /usr/local/lib/firefox/browser/defaults/preferences/unveil.socket /usr/share/man/man2/unveil.2 /usr/share/relink/kernel/GENERIC.MP/kern_unveil.o Wondering if something else is at play here...
