Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/2408

Chromium won't launch in Firejail and passes error below.
Temporary workaround is appending --password-store=basic to Chromium command line.

71.0.3578.98.
It appears to have resolved after I applied solution from 2258.
I am guessing it may have been whitelist ~/.password-store

I don't know what it was, but unless you use pass as your password manager and want chromium to have access to it, that's not really doing anything.
