firejail fails when the home directory is /home/u/user instead of /home/user and whitelist is used (version 0.9.34):

user@sid:~$ pwd 
/home/u/user
user@sid:~$ firejail --whitelist=.config
Reading profile /etc/firejail/generic.profile
Reading profile /etc/firejail/disable-mgmt.inc
Reading profile /etc/firejail/disable-secret.inc
Reading profile /etc/firejail/disable-common.inc

** Note: you can use --noprofile to disable generic.profile **

Parent pid 1250, child pid 1251
Error mount bind:fs_whitelist(183): No such file or directory
Error: cannot establish communication with the parent, exiting...
