Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/3589

Bug and expected behavior

Describe the bug: open discord from a custom folder says archive or directory doesn't exist
What did you expect to happen? Discord opening normally

No profile or disabling firejail

What changed calling firejail --noprofile PROGRAM in a shell?
Program executed fine
What changed calling the program by path=without firejail (check whereis PROGRAM, firejail --list, stat $programpath)?
Program executed fine

Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Run in bash firejail /home/name/DiscordFolder
1.1 Run in bash firejail --ignore=quiet --noblacklist=/home/yasser/opt/Discord /home/yasser/opt/Discord/Discord
See error Archive or directory not found

Environment

Linux distribution and version (ie output of lsb_release -a)
Distributor ID: openSUSE
Description: openSUSE Tumbleweed
Release: 20200810
Firejail version (output of firejail --version)
firejail version 0.9.62

Additional context
Since every discord update makes it impossible to use the older version and my distribution doesnt update right away i decided to use the tar.gz provided by discord but i can execute it with firejail anymore

Checklist

[X ] The upstream profile (and redirect profile if exists) have no changes fixing it.
[ X] The upstream profile exists (find / -name 'firejail' 2>/dev/null/fd firejail to locate profiles ie in /usr/local/etc/firejail/PROGRAM.profile)
[X ] Programs needed for interaction are listed.
[ X] Error was checked in search engine and on issue list without success.

I have a different error but whitelist ${HOME}/opt in your profile and firejail --ignore=quiet /home/korte/opt/Discord/Discord runs... or move the opt in home to Downloads...

Thank you, i tried with the flag '--whitelist' and now it opens normal, but shouldn't the noblacklist and whitelist basically do the same thing?

No they are different, you can take a look at man firejail-profile to know how. You don't need to do a noblacklist since there is no blacklist "${HOME}/opt."
