Hi There,

I use Debian Sid with thunderbird 60.4 and firejail version 0.9.56

Compile time support:
- AppArmor support is enabled
- AppImage support is enabled
- chroot support is enabled
- file and directory whitelisting support is enabled
- file transfer support is enabled
- networking support is enabled
- overlayfs support is enabled
- private-home support is enabled
- seccomp-bpf support is enabled
- user namespace support is enabled
- X11 sandboxing support is enabled

I can't decrypt in mails with gpg-agent if thunderbird running in firejail, without firejail it works.
When in firejail and I mark a encrypted mail, the passphrase entry window doesn't show off.
The strange thing is, if I save one of these mails, decrypt them on the terminal(directly with gpg), then I shows as decrypted in thunderbird too.
The --writable-run-user flag is set in profile config, but doesn't help.

Can someone help me to find the root case of this?
Micha

Try adding --ignore=nodbus to firejail when you call thunderbird.
(See https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/blob/master/etc/thunderbird.profile#L45 for reference).

Cheers!
