Public bug reported: When setting up a jailed firefox via `ln -s /usr/bin/firejail /usr/local/bin/firefox`, firefox fails to start with a "profile inaccessible" message.
This happens because /usr/bin/firefox is a symlink to /usr/lib/firefox/firefox.sh, which makes firejail look for "firefox.sh.profile", which is not available. Firejail then uses a default profile which is too restrictive for firefox. I have worked around this by symlinking ~/.config/firejail/firefox.sh.profile to /etc/firejail/firefox.profile. The package should probably provide a similar symlink in /etc/firejail to make this work out of the box. NOTE: The same seems to apply to thunderbird. ** Affects: firejail (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1616334 Title: Firejail symlink for firefox does not work because of wrapper script To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firejail/+bug/1616334/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
