Created directory ~/config/firejail

Firejail expects user configurations to be under ~/.config/firejail (mind the dot).

User and group are root

Why root instead of your regular user?

/usr/bin/pkexec has the right SETUID as -rws

What matters are permissions inside the sandbox, and there it can not escalat privileges.

For which app do you try to build a profile?
