I am running parrotOS and some times when I run a terminal command such as vscodeium . the terminal doesn't detach and just sits in the terminal.

You mean the sandbox keeps running after you close the main app? If this happens there is still a process running inside the sandbox. Firejail only shuts down when the sandbox is empty.

You could run firejail --tree to get an idea what is going on.

Normally when you run a command such as firejail firefox

The process stops in the terminal window but from time to it just stops at the last part until you close it

Actually this is what I would expect to happen. When you run firejail firefox the next time and you drop back right away into the shell, can you check the output of firejail --list if Firefox is indeed sandboxed?

I'm afraid not I haven't done any security testing at work that has required me to spin up my VM.

If I have time tomorrow I'll give it a go.

firejail sh -c "sleep 1m &" didn't go in background. Not sure how firejail handel stdin/out and fg/bg.
