Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/3049

I am running firejail 0.9.60 on Debian and am having a similar issue to what was described in https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/1396 where the internal browser is just black.

I am running the program with firejail --private=~/.local/share/steam steam, would this cause issues? I have checked the steam.profile and it does have tracelog commented out but the issue persists. I have found that commenting out include disable-common.inc in steam.profile does seem to fix it, but I am unsure if this is a good idea to leave disabled.

In general removing disable-common.inc is a bad idea, since it protects files like .bashrc. That can end in sandbox-escape. Using --private is a mitigation against this, since the .bashrc read outside of the sandbox is an other .bashrc.

Sine disable-common.inc contains a lot of read-only and blacklist command, only one (or a bit more) read-write/noblacklist/ignore lines in steam.local would be needed to fix that. Can you find out which ro/bl line is the issue? (comment fist all ro (search and replace) and then all bl; or comment first the half file, and the the other half.) If steam starts with tracelog, you can also look in the syslog.
