Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/271

I have already tried escaping , as well as encapsulating with both single and double quotes, but due to the fact that Pale Moon's developer thought using "~/.moonchild productions" was ok for the browser's directory, firejail doesn't play nice with it.

Currently I'm using a copy of my firefox.profile for palemoon, modified with ~/.palemoon as the directory, with a custom built version of Pale Moon configured to use ~/.palemoon instead (this isn't JUST because of firejail, I like building this myself)...

Because we like standardization, it would be nice if you could either add space functionality for paths, or educate me if there is one already so we can have a default profile for pale moon as well - it is gaining in popularity as Firefox bloats and adds privacy intrusive features.

Just put the path in verbatim with the spaces and no type of quoting. The path parsing is not standard unix shell. This fooled me too until I accidentally tried without any quoting. Perhaps the profile man page needs a mention?

Ah, that makes sense. It would be extremely helpful if someone would add an example to the manpages.

I'll try to bring in a Pale Moon profile.
