Hi guys ,
the Firejail sandbox is doing well in all applications except in firefox I can not find the solution.
My system requirements . Unknown WJM83ZFYFQTA 999.999.999 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I installed it as it says in source code and everything came out perfect
./configure && make && sudo make install-strip

when I run firefox it mentions this error
`root@WJM83ZFYFQTA:~# firejail --force firefox

Why are you trying to run Firefox as root? Which distro are you on? Is Firefox installed via your package manager? Have you tried running Firefox as a normal user? What is the output of which -a firefox ?

If you run as regular user instead of root, do you still have the problem?
