The problem occurs only firefox. It works for vlc, smplayer and so on.
Im using Linux Mint 20.2. I think it was similiar problem here but was for an older version of firejail and firefox.

dpkg-query: error: failed to open package info file '/var/lib/dpkg/status' for reading: No such file or directory

Sounds similar to #3680.
Mint uses a start script for firefox instead of a binary like Debian at /usr/bin/firefox.
They query the dpkg database in the script, which fails (because it's not whitelisted).

Error: no DISPLAY environment variable specified

This sounds like something clears the environment?
