Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/2597

I have slack, webstorm and a few other apps installed using snap. Also some of default gnome apps like gnome-system-monitor are shipped through snap

After I installed firejail using apt and run firecfg, they disappeared from desktop search.

which slack
> /snap/bin/slack

also if I run slack from terminal, icon of process looks not found.

it might be that firejail is blacklisting some snap folders for gnome desktop environment

Can you check in ~/.local/share/applications for .desktop overrides for those programs?

/var/lib/snapd/desktop/applications/ is location for snap's .desktop files
