Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/1625

can't get enpass (password manager), https://www.enpass.io installed via PPA,
to recognize Firefox when using Firejail.
firejail firefox %u

Enpass works with Chrome & Chromium while in Firejail
firejail chromium-browser %U

Enpass works in Firefox NOT Firejailed.
firefox %u

not sure what directories need to be white listed or if this is a bug

The noroot option is probably what is killing it in Firefox. That option is set by default in the firefox profile but not in chromium/chrome. If you add noroot to the Chromium profile enpass won't work. Try removing noroot in the firefox profile.

I can't get enpass to start firejailed. There is a profile for it. It doesn't see enpass when running sudo firecfg.

Ideally enpass itself would run firejailed and using noroot with the browser.
