Almost all Windows based sandboxing programs show an Indication that the program is Sandboxed.

# in Window title
Window border colors like Red, Yellow, Green, Purple.

Considering the fact that, if Firefox is already running, then a new Firefox opened using Firejail doesn't get sandboxed, I think it is crucial that we have some indication to know if we are protected.

It would be nice to have something like this but we are missing the support in the window manager. The window/desktop manager handles the window border.

@netblue30 We should be able to set the window title though, right? I think we could go with that as a stop-gap measure...

As a workaround you could use env to set an alternative/own GTK+2, GTK+3, GTK+4, QT4, QT5 theme.
