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.
