Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/2318

This maybe a bug, not sure so bare with me. Running Mint 18.3 Cinnamon, firejail 9.56LTS.
Xreader crashes. No pre-views, just Adobe icon. In /etc/firejail/xreader.profile are the lines:

Breaks xreader on Mint 18.3

include /etc/firejail/whitelist-var-common.inc. Un-commenting this line does not fix.

Is there a way to "disable" the xreader.profile to test if this is a bug? Man pages are to complicated for me, trying not to crash my system.

Closing this as it is not a bug. Reverted to older version and problem still exists.

I am re-opening this as removing firejail with apt-get purge fixes xreader. Also text editor would crash.
I got an strace before removing firejail. Xreader would crash with version 0.9.56-LTS and 0.9.54_1

Side question: from where did you get LTS version?

Did you tried latest non-LTS version from https://sourceforge.net/projects/firejail/files/firejail/ ?

Yes I tried the latest version. Before install I removed all traces of firejail that I could find including the audio fix directory and file. I installed and did not run fix sound and firecfg. I did the fix sound manually.
Upon reboot I have all the symbolic links. Firefox runs in firejail sandbox. Xreader crashes, ( does not run). Will try firejail --clean and test. FYI, I run firefox from the panel. After deleting firejail, the firefox icon on the panel was removed. I had modded the launcher to firejail firefox. After install and reboot the icon on the panel is back. I did ls -al on /usr/local/bin and the date is not today's date. So I did not remove everything. Will try the clean command and report back. Thanks

Running firecfg --clean fixes xreader. It now runs as it should. Will test other applications, if no problems found will close this. I should have read the documentation. Thanks Vincent43
