Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/1513

Hi, spotify version 1.0.49.125 on ArchLinux with firejail 0.9.48 would not start and I got
/usr/bin/spotify: line 2: /opt/spotify/spotify: Permission denied

commenting out blacklist /opt and appending a whitelist /opt/spotify to a local ~/.config/firejail/spotify.profile did the trick.

How did you install spotify (why did it land in /opt)?
If I understand it correctly, the AUR build installs it "normally" in /usr.

I think @johnfocker is using this package: https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=spotify-stable which installs spotify to /opt

I don't know if this is a general issue as users can install binary to any location they want and adjust that in local profiles.

Woops my bad. I was indeed using "spotify-stable" instead of the regular "spotify" also in the AUR, which in turn doesn't install to /opt as you mentionned @VladimirSchowalter20
Now using only the default profile and it works like a charm.
Thanks for all the good work guys.
