Just doesn't start. I have tried strace, but with strace it stops, but without it just hangs (not truly hangs, just there is no window). Probably something GPU-related. I have tried to whitelist some paths, but it results in even weirder errors. I have tried to disable features (not all of them though). Disabling apparmor changes the output but doesn't fix ff. IDK how should I debug it. How can I output all the violations into stdout/stderr instead of syslog?

Okay. Please post the output of the below command here (adjust the paths as necessary):

firejail --ignore=quiet /usr/bin/firefox | tee -a ~/Downloads/firejail.firefox.log 2>&1

Also, what firejail version are you using on Focal?

I tested in a live VM with this image http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/focal-desktop-amd64.iso and firejail git, and everything works fine.

configure: --enable-apparmor --prefix=/usr
apparmor_parser -r /etc/apparmor.d/firejail-default
