Hi. I noticed that when I run browsers sandbox by firejail from terminal, the terminal showing me warning / errors ... The browsers launched & usable, & all sandboxes appear on run "firejail --list". I think that these are merely a cosmetic warning & errors. However, to be sure from that please look to them:

Please notice that regarding IceCat I run the test while it configured by FoxyProxy to connect to i2p via i2pd & i2pd was not launched.

All expected. You can find explanation to them in other issues/PRs.

Warning fcopy: skipping /etc/alternatives/policyeditor, cannot find inode

private-etc contains alternatives, in alternatives is a symlink to /usr/bin/policyeditor (or whatever), but private-bin does not contain policyeditor.

Warning: skipping ca-certificates for private /etc

ca-certificates is the place for certs on Arch, on other distros it is simply ignored.
