Don't know if that is fixable.

Some examples:

wget example.com/something works
firejail wget example.com/something: Cannot write to 'something' (Operation not permitted)

firejail firefox: no window are opening

firejail epiphany: `Fatal initialization error: Failed to create directory "/var/home/USER/.local/share/epiphany

pwd: /var/home/USER
firejail bash
- pwd: /

firejail dig @9.9.9.9 example.com: works

It is totally broken! They run a very unconventional filesystem, with /home and a lot of other directories as symbolic links inside /var, details here:

We won't be able to support this distro. It is an enterprise distro anyway, something to do with containers.

It's not enterprise distro, it's more like alternative desktop platform focused on containerized apps like flatpak. Still firejail support for it is unlikely.
