Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/3290

Firejail: 0.9.62
Archlinux (Sway WM)
Default Profile.

If I try to open a new firefox window when there's one already open, I get the "Firefox is already running but is not responding" error.

This only happens when running from inside firejail, and only when using export MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 (that is, running firefox with wayland rather than xwayland).

I can confirm that removing nodbus fixes the issue
