Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/5186

On Debian bullseye with Steam installed via Debian repo and a game installed that uses Paradox Interactive Launcher a folder is required to be whitelisted for the launcher to open.
Without the folder being whitelisted the Paradox Launcher will fail to load with a 'permission denied' error and it will ask to reinstall the launcher, which also fails.

Describe the solution you'd like

add to the whitelist for steam.profile the following
whitelist ${HOME}/.paradoxlauncher

Describe alternatives you've considered

There does not seem to be an alternative.

Additional context

I am using firejail 0.9.64.4-2 with default steam.profile
the master steam.profile also lacks this folder in the whitelist
