Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/3976

When starting jitsi-meet-desktop after enabling firejail globally with 'firecfg' jitsi-meet-desktop would not start.
Running it via Terminal using 'firejail --debug jitsi-meet-desktop' displayed an error message saying that sh was missing. Adding
'private-bin sh' to jitsi-meet-desktop.local
fixed this error but now electron was missing so i added that as well.

Adding 'private-bin sh,electron' to jitsi-meet-desktop.local fixed the problem.

Thanks for your report. Looks like a bug indeed, nice catch.

Before fixing this in git I'd like you to confirm seeing this behavior on the latest stable firejail release, which would be 0.9.64.4 by the time of writing.

If you are interested in making a PR, feel free to do so. We can help out with that if needed.
