Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/3214

I would like to test something on my system but I am afraid firejail may interfere. Is there an easy way to disable firejail (after a reboot probably) and to reenable it later?
Something like firejail --disable or "systemctl disable firejail"? :)

Simply uninstalling seems not to be the desired solution as I want to keep all settings etc.

You .local files and profiles in ~/.config/firejail are not affected by this.

As sudo firecfg --clean removes all kind of symlinks and sudo firecfg adds symlinks for which firejail has profiles again,
I would have to manually write a script which sets all symlinks again to the certain apps only, which I'd like to firejail.
It seems firejail does not remember those.

Thanks!
