Hi netblue30 and contributors!

I'd like to see firejail parse generic.profile by default unless:

Another profile is explicitly specified on the command line, or
Another profile matches the extracted command name, or
A flag is specified to disable it (ex. "--nodefault")

Don't get me wrong: I love the flexibility of firejail to specify all kinds of options. The target here is the new/desktop user who wants to sandbox but may be getting less security than they expect from sandboxing a profile-less program.

Feel free to reject this suggestion if you think it is the wrong direction for the firejail project. Otherwise, I'd be happy to make the change and submit a pull request.

It is a good idea, send a pull request! Make the flag "--noprofile" instead of "--nodefault". Thanks!
