Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/1808

Using firejail 0.9.52-1.
Had to disable memory-deny-write-execute to get viewnior to run, else it would hang after Child process initialized.

Also, I'd really like to know why the default profile grants access to Steam.

See #1803

As for why Steam is allowed see 6262b3078c, its meant to allow people to open their screenshots.

Thanks! Unless someone else beats me to it I'll get a fix in soon. :-)
Can I ask what distro and desktop environment you're using?

We grant access to steam folders so that screenshots taken in steam can be viewed with your default image viewer. There's an issue or pull request somewhere around here with more info, I'll see if I can find it and post a link here.
Cheers!
