Hi, my browser is Tor Browser without Tor.
If I run firejail --profile=/etc/firejail/start-tor-browser.profile proxychains4 /home/me/tor-browser_en-US/Browser/start-tor-browser

@nejejn The profile uses private-bin, which doesn't contain proxychains4. You'll need to add private-bin proxychains4 to either /etc/firejail/start-tor-browser.local or ~/.config/firejail/start-tor-browser.local.

PS: you can use the shorter --profile=start-tor-browser format instead of '--profile=/etc/firejail/start-tor-browser.profile'.

@rusty-snake I tried firejail --profile=start-tor-browser --private-bin=proxychains4 --private-etc=proxychains.conf proxychains4 /home/me/tor-browser_en-US/Browser/start-tor-browser and it works.
