Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/3957

Updating to latest Firejail from git (0.9.63) broke Firefox in Fedora.

$ firejail firefox
...
Error: execute permission denied for /usr/local/bin/firefox
Error: no suitable firefox executable found

It's looking for /usr/local/bin/firefox.
When I specify the bin path from konsole:
$ firejail /usr/bin/firefox
It appears to launch normally as with previous builds but the GUI never appears.

This appears similar to #2380.

latest Firejail from git (0.9.63)

The latest is 0.9.65. Is this a typo? What shows firejail --version?

How did you build firejail from git exactly?

This reminds me of https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/3333#issuecomment-612601102. @Futureknows does firejail /usr/bin/firefox work?

git clone https://github.com/netblue30/firejail.git
cd firejail
./configure && make && sudo make install-strip

When did you the git clone? If it was in the last week it can not be 0.9.63.

Within the last few days.
I rolled back my system and now it is working as before git update, but
Firejail still reports 0.9.63.
I don't have Firejail installed from a package manager.

I noticed I have Firejail binaries in /usr/bin/ as well as /usr/local/bin/. I suspect they are conflicting.

After removing 0.9.63 binary from /usr/local/bin/, I updated from git and everything works again.
