The same way as any other app. Instead of wine *.exe use firejail wine *.exe from console or edit wine app launcher and add firejail prefix. The default wine profile is here: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/blob/master/etc/wine.profile

@Vincent43 Are there any security/privacy vulnerabilities with utilizing the default wine profile?

The default profile uses blacklists which should block access to common sensitive files but may be not tailored to your specific system if you store important files in various non-standard locations.

To use whitelists you may add:

include /etc/firejail/whitelist-common.inc
whitelist ${HOME}/.wine
whitelist ${HOME}/.local/share/wineprefixes

plus other /home directories you want to access in /etc/firejail/wine.local file (you may need to create it).

It also allows network access, if you don't want it then you may add --net=none option after firejail, i.e. firejail --net=none wine *.exe in launcher/console or add it to wine.local as described above.

Sorry to open this issue, but I cannot get it working with wine. For example. I installed Abelton Live 11 trial on Linux using wine. The installation created an entry in my applicaton menu like this:

env WINEPREFIX="/home/castle/.wine" wine C:\\windows\\command\\start.exe /Unix /home/castle/.wine/dosdevices/c:/users/castle/Start\ Menu/Programs/Ableton\ Live\ 11\ Suite.lnk

I add firejail --net=none like this:

env WINEPREFIX="/home/castle/.wine" firejail --net=none wine C:\\windows\\command\\start.exe /Unix /home/castle/.wine/dosdevices/c:/users/castle/Start\ Menu/Programs/Ableton\ Live\ 11\ Suite.lnk

However the Ableton still connects to the Internet. Am I missing something?

First make sure that the program is really running in firejail (firejail --list). If that's the case, try to disable D-Bus access (dbus-user none and dbus-system none). Maybe that's help.

Just to update the location of the wine.profile, since it moved:

https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/blob/master/etc/profile-m-z/wine.profile
