Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/3006

I have two CPUs running Mint w/ Cinnamon desktop. Mint 18.3 and 19.2. Version of Firejail is
9.60_amd64.deb. Running firecfg causes apps to fail to launch, Firefox displays a not default browser message. Cant change in firefox preferences. Xreader and another PDF reader wont launch. Firejail is running on the apps that do start. Executing sudo firecfg --clean fixes the problems. Firejail will run with the firejail (app) command in a launcher or terminal. Firecfg installs the links in /usr/local/bin. I know more info is needed, I dont know what that is. Thanks.

Firefox displays a not default browser message. Cant change in firefox preferences.

Probably expected.

Xreader and another PDF reader wont launch.

Are there any error mesage in the terminal?

IDK if I get you right, but your issue is that firejail APP works but sudo firecfg && APP is broken?
