Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/188

Firefox with keysnail will try to create the config file (in ~/.keysnail.js) if it does not exist. It is whitelisted in the firejail profile, but the config file is created in the temporary filesystem: I can access it from within firefox, but it is not in my real home directory.

Firefox can access the config if it already exists before starting.

It is a limitation of the current mount-bind technology I use for whitelisting. The file or the directory needs to be created by the user before whitelisting. I am not sure if this will ever get fixed.
