Hello,

I have a specific case which requires me to put the config files in some other directory other than /etc/firejail and ~/.config/firejail.

I was hoping if this can be supported by firejail, as done by other libraries such as gstreamer, by allowing to provide a custom directory via an environment variable like FIREJAIL_CONFIG_DIR along with the default dirs.

I would recommend something like config-dir ${HOME}/.config/firejail ${CFG} /custom/path in firejail.config instead of FIREJAIL_CONFIG_DIR.
