Hello,

it isn`t an issue at all, but in the Arch-Linux-Wiki they say that firejail has to start with "firejail --seccomp firefox" for example. In your "wiki" I can read --seccomp isn't neccessary because there is a filter list for firefox anyway.

Well, which setting gives the most protection to start Firefox in this case -> With --seccomp or w/o?

Thanks for this great invention!!

Additionally:
I have testet both... and in both cases "grep Seccomp /proc//status" shows that seccomp 2 is enabled. So I think I can run "firejail firefox" w/o --seccomp in line!

It is not necessary anymore. I've made it default.
