Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/4067

I am interested in a survey of how I can run one and the same program many times with the help of FireJail, as separate sessions.
When I try to do it with stimulus, I get this:

Steam client's requirements are satisfied
/home/alex/.steam/debian-installation/ubuntu12_32/steam -nominidumps -nobreakpad

Parent is shutting down, bye...

How to fix this or otherwise solve this problem.

You need to tighten the profile more (disallow stuff like dbus) and probably use private home directories (as they might store some state in ~/.steam).

@c3zs4r that's nothing that is official supported by firejail it is a side-effect of the isolation from the sandbox, so that the sandboxed program does not know/see other instances. What @reinerh says is that this required more isolation then the default steam.profile (e.g. dbus-user none, dbus-system none, private ${HOME}/.steam-session1, ...).
