Every time I start Skype it asks for credentials, however I whitelisted it's config dir:
firejail --nodbus --whitelist=~/.config/skypeforlinux/ /usr/bin/skypeforlinux %U

firejail version 0.9.66

firejail version 0.9.66

Try upgrading your firejail installation ASAP. There have been important changes since version 0.9.66 (CVE vulnerability, --nodbus deprecated, etcetera). Current skypeforlinux.profile has everything you tried on the CLI.

If your issue still exists after upgrading, please show us a more informative output of commands you run. Without that we're just blind readers who cannot actually offer much help.

  1. Follow the issue template (or I ignore your issue as a waste of time).
  2. You very likely shoot yourself in the foot with --nodbus.
