Sender: Gianpietro.
I would like to report this problem.
After updating to Firefox 82.0, this afternoon firejail 0.9.62.4-1
does not start Firefox 82.0, in Linux Mint 19.3 Tricia.
This morning with Firefox 81.0.2 everything worked correctly.
See screenshots attached:

I've had FF82 in firejail for 3 days now, no issue.
Does
firejail /usr/bin/firefox
make any difference?
Do you have AMD graphics?
@Wolf-Italy commented on GitHub (Oct 20, 2020):
Good morning SkewedZeppelin.
I am not an experienced user.
With the command firejail /usr/bin/firefox
this result screenshot:

@reinerh commented on GitHub (Oct 20, 2020):
Sounds like /usr/bin/firefox is just a wrapper script in Linux Mint, and it tries to invoke dpkg (as it tries to access
/var/lib/dpkg/status).Is anyone else using Mint to confirm that?
@clefebvre commented on GitHub (Oct 20, 2020):
Hi @reinerh,
Absolutely. This is a mistake on our side. We're sending an update to correct this ASAP.
@kinglike1337 commented on GitHub (Oct 20, 2020):
Yes, I can confirm that Linux Mint is using a wrapper script and calling dpkg-query.
This new behaviour was introduced after upgrading Firefox 81.0.2 to Firefox 82.0.
They changed the wrapper script to use some kind of version check using dpkg-query and appending "--purgecaches" to the firefox command line.
@bertradio commented on GitHub (Oct 20, 2020):
I can confirm this problem on Linux Mint 19.3. Attached is what I get when I type firejail firefox on the command line.

Also when I download and install the latest firejail firejail_0.9.64rc1_1_amd64.deb I still see 0.9.59 when I type firejail --version.
@kinglike1337 commented on GitHub (Oct 20, 2020):
They released a new update and Firefox can now be started using firejail again.
The script is still calling dpkg-query, but the error is now ignored and the version is defaulting to 0.
@bertradio commented on GitHub (Oct 20, 2020):
Update of firejail or firefox?
@reinerh commented on GitHub (Oct 20, 2020):
@bertradio Please update Firefox.
Closing this issue, as it has been fixed in Mint.
@bertradio commented on GitHub (Oct 20, 2020):
Got it. Thanks.

The problem has been solved.
