Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/3031

Hello :) fresh install of Fedora 31 with Firejail and noticed that clicking links in Telegram with Firejail does not open them in default browser (tried with Firefox, Falcon an Brave). I have found that commenting the seccomp line in telegram.profile fixes the issue.

It should be enough to allow chroot, in firejail master you can simply add !chroot after seccomp (with one space).

echo 'seccomp !chroot' >> ~/.config/firejail/telegram.local or
sudo sed -i 's/seccomp/seccomp !chroot/' /etc/firejail/telegram.profile

This I have tested, don't work.
Warning: an existing sandbox was detected. /usr/bin/firefox will run without any additional sandboxing features
Error: Access was denied while trying to open files in your profile directory.
So I whitelisted ~/.mozilla and it works.

One strange thing is,if I change this under the defaul profile in /etc/firejail/telegram.profile it works.
If I create a telegram.local firle with
seccomp !chroot
noblacklist ${HOME}/.mozilla
something went wrong and telegram is not able to load it's configuration.

Is there a new solution how to force tg open links?
Tg firejail profile is still slack-baked.
