Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/1962

Seems to be a separate issue from #1942, as I can see the menus by pressing alt (no global menu on XFCE). The suggested fix doesn't help.

Linux version: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, all packages up-to-date (29. May 2018)
firejail version: 0.9.52
firefox version: 60.0.1
didn't have this problem on Ubuntu 16.04 prior to updating firejail (from default repos), too bad I can't recall the old version's number
firefox works with --noprofile

By "doesn't load pages" I mean I get this: http://i.imgur.com/9EgEcM3.png and then a crash a few moments later. I also get a crash if I close the window.

I haven't worked my way through firefox.profile yet, but launching firefox with --profile= works with the profiles firefox.local, disable-common.inc, disable-devel.inc, whitelist-common.inc, whitelist-var-common.inc - ie. not with disable-programs.inc, which I commented out from firefox.profile without luck.

Falkon 3.0.0 (Qupzilla) also crashes on start, though not with --noprofile. Might be a separate issue, though I do recall it working correctly before.
