Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/2339

Would be useful to have multiple tor instances firejailed providing separate circuits/browsers open simultaneously. When attempting with --private torbrowser I get following:

/usr/bin/env: ‘./Browser/execdesktop’: No such file or directory

Tried whitelisting /usr/bin/env.

--private won't work because TBB is installed in your home directory (which is empty with private)

Consider instead enabling Tor's IsolateDestAddr option.

You could probably adapt my method for creating temporary firefox profiles (see the private-profile.sh script in my repo: https://github.com/chiraag-nataraj/firejail-profiles). I'll give it a go later and post back.
