Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/4797

(Linux Mint 20.2-5.4.0-91-generic)

Now when I installed the latest firejail version 0.9.66 I noticed that I can't anymore open VLC Player itself by doubleclicking the icon.
I get the notification:

"Command >> usr/bin/vlc --started-from-file << couldn't executed. Child process >>usr/bin/vlc<< could not be executed ( File or directory couldn't be found)" - but it's there ^^

For completion, I added also a terminal command, maybe it's relevant also:

@freedom4JA Hello, I've edited the OP to use code fences to fix the formatting
(edit the post to see the source).

Example:

```console
$ echo foo
foo
```

Result:

$ echo foo
foo

Please use code fences when posting code, to make it easier to read and to make
the GitHub "quote reply" feature work properly.
