Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/2811

When I open an odt attachment in thunderbird, (or open one directly via Firefox), the Libre Office splash image pops up and then goes away without opening the document.

The output from firejail is below.

Do you have any suggestion on what changes I could make to enable opening libreoffice attachments directly?

I'm running debian buster with firejail 0.9.58.2-2

Thank you!

This is expected, the workaround is to save the document and manually open it via your file manager.
