Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/3213

As far as I see it, once installed, firejail will try to sandbox all programs for which it has profiles. However, on one of my systems I trust most of the programs, except a few, which I would like to sandbox only, like Spotify or Steam games.

Is there easy way to achieve this without deleting manually all symlinks in /usr/local/bin/?
I haven't found a command to unsandbox all and then to sandbox just certain apps.
