Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/2864

I usually run sudo firecfg and then tweak the files in /etc/firejail but in my new linux mint instalation, I can't find the files in this directory. Curious because in my previous install this always worked as intended and it works as well in Manjaro Linux.

The thing is I need to tweak the files because firecfg breaks programs like firefox, chromium and spotify. I can't seem to find the files tho... there are some files created in /usr/local/bin and /usr/bin but they are just shortcuts that point to the desktop files... I can't change the actual firejail profile.

Hope someone can help, Cheers.

Please note: if you are running Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint, or another related distribution and you installed firejail from your distro's repositories, please ensure that both of the following were installed: firejail and firejail-profiles. A common source of issues is that firejail-profiles was not installed when installing firejail.
