Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/2006

Profiles using an include x-common.profile format (like {chromium,discord,firefox}-common.profile do) are seeing globals.local included twice. Probably more confusing than harmful, but then again I don't know what users put inside that file. This happens for the following profiles:

chromium-common.profile

bnox.profile
brave.profile
chromium.profile
dnox.profile
enox.profile
flashpeak-slimjet.profile
google-chrome.profile
google-chrome-beta.profile
google-chrome-unstable.profile
inox.profile
iridium.profile
opera.profile
opera-beta.profile
vivaldi.profile
vivaldi-snapshot.profile
yandex-browser.profile

discord-common.profile

discord.profile
Discord.profile
discord-canary.profile
DiscordCanary.profile

firefox-common.profile

abrowser.profile
basilisk.profile
cliqz.profile
cyberfox.profile
firefox.profile
icecat.profile
iceweasel.profile
palemoon.profile
waterfox.profile

Luckily we don't need to change all affected profiles. Commenting include /etc/firejail/globals.local in {chromium,discord,firefox}-common.profile should be enough to avoid multiple inclusion of globals.local.
