Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/2045

A Debian user has reported that firejail doesn't use the correct profile if the path contains spaces.
I was able to confirm that:

$ mkdir /tmp/nonexisting\ profile
$ cp /bin/ls /tmp/nonexisting\ profile/
$ firejail --debug /tmp/nonexisting\ profile/ls 
Autoselecting /bin/bash as shell
Building quoted command line: '/tmp/nonexisting profile/ls' 
Command name #nonexisting#
Attempting to find default.profile...

It tries to load the profile for the program "nonexisting" and falls back to the default profile.
