Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/1673

I cannot get programs to start with firejail as default using sudo ln -s /usr/bin/firejail /usr/local/bin/[program name] but firejail [program name] works just fine.

% echo $PATH
/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin/site_perl:/usr/bin/vendor_perl:/usr/bin/core_perl

Is it the path oder ?

~~Eh that should work, have you tried simply running sudo firecfg?~~

Oh silly me, your /usr/bin is before your /usr/local/bin, local needs to take precedence. You can probably fix it by editing /etc/profile
