Hi,

even this is not sure a firejail problem im hoping somebody can help me a little bit. I startet firejail firefox with a new private directory firejail --private=/var/tmp/firefox firefox

This works pretty well overall but i cannot use the spotify web player. If i log in and install the DRM Plugin it seems ok, but if i try to play music the play button wont work and its logging me out every 30 sec. Youtube and Netflix are working. Do you guys have an idea? Plain Firefox with same Settings (Proxy) does work.

Is selinux enabled? Could you check if it blocks something?

DRM Widevine on Spotify (Firefox) doesn't work too when "private-etc" is uncommented in config files.
I think it's the same bug.
In previous versions it worked correctly.

ArchLinux (linux-5.4.13), Firefox 72.0.1, Firejail 0.9.62

@domker could you try modifying private-etc like this?

QR code not working sounds like a privacy.resistFingerprinting problem to me. You can fix that by doing privacy.resistFingerprinting.autoDeclineNoUserInputCanvasPrompts to false.
