@rekixex Can you try adding hostname,hosts,resolv.conf to the profile?

@rekixex Will do!
What Linux distro are you on? I can't replicate this on my Arch box, and I'd like to be able to (some of the lines I had you add to private-etc may be unnecessary, and I'd like to track 'em down and remove them if possible.)
Is this the tor browser bundle from https://www.torproject.org/download/download-easy.html?

Hmm... I can't replicate this on a Ubuntu 16.04 VM I just set up. Do you do anything peculiar with your networking?

This also appears to happen on Fedora. The private-etc line above and the one from firefox.profile both result in no connectivity. I'm not too sure what the issue is, although 826bbf1459 might be related.

@SpotComms Does private-etc hostname,hosts,resolv.conf cause no internet connection?

@Fred-Barclay So in testing I uncovered another issue. The first issue (the one in OP) is Tor Browser not getting access to the Internet, which is fixed by your private-etc line from https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/1724#issuecomment-357578263. But I was testing with the Tor Browser Launcher which was having issues verifying the HTTPS certificate of torproject.org, which is fixed by adding ssl and whatnot to private-etc.
