Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/4194

Hi, I made thunderbird.profile in .config/firejail, and type following:

include /etc/firejail/thunderbird.profile
whitelist ${HOME}/Documents/upload
whitelist ${HOME}/Pictures/upload

I did a same think for firefox, when I checked firefox, I could access both whitelisted directories,
But, not with thunderbird. the Documents & Pictures directories were showed up
1
but when I click that directory I got following prompt:
2

I don't have app armor profile enabled by default for thunderbird. This is the snippet from sudo aa-status:
apparmor module is loaded. 22 profiles are loaded. 20 profiles are in enforce mode. /usr/bin/man /usr/lib/NetworkManager/nm-dhcp-client.action /usr/lib/NetworkManager/nm-dhcp-helper /usr/lib/connman/scripts/dhclient-script /usr/lib/cups/backend/cups-pdf /usr/sbin/cups-browsed /usr/sbin/cupsd /usr/sbin/cupsd//third_party /usr/sbin/tcpdump /{,usr/}sbin/dhclient firejail-default ippusbxd libreoffice-senddoc libreoffice-soffice//gpg libreoffice-xpdfimport lsb_release man_filter man_groff nvidia_modprobe nvidia_modprobe//kmod 2 profiles are in complain mode. libreoffice-oopslash libreoffice-soffice 9 processes have profiles defined. 9 processes are in enforce mode. /usr/sbin/cups-browsed (644) /usr/sbin/cupsd (558) /usr/lib/thunderbird/thunderbird (12309) firejail-default /usr/lib/firefox/firefox (12828) firejail-default /usr/lib/firefox/firefox (12903) firejail-default /usr/lib/firefox/firefox (12956) firejail-default /usr/lib/firefox/firefox (13010) firejail-default /usr/lib/firefox/firefox (13064) firejail-default /usr/lib/firefox/firefox (13110) firejail-default 0 processes are in complain mode. 0 processes are unconfined but have a profile defined.

Hi, I made thunderbird.profile in .config/firejail, and type following:
include /etc/firejail/thunderbird.profile
whitelist ${HOME}/Documents/upload
whitelist ${HOME}/Pictures/upload

Name it thunderbird.local and skip the include /etc/firejail/thunderbird.profile

Permission denied

Because they are blacklisted, add the following:

noblacklist ${DOCUMENTS}
noblacklist ${PICTURES}
