Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/408

In the header of firecfg.config you mention a location of /etc/firejail/firecfg.config.
But by default it is installed in $LIBDIR/firejail/firecfg.config.
Which is supposed to be the correct location (i.e., is is intended to be edited by the user?)?

Sorry, it is in $LIBDIR/firejail/firecfg.config - non editable.

@netblue30 why it should be non-editable? I think that enabling/disabling specific apps from firecfg may solve https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/2097 and this config should be moved to /etc/firejail.

Yes, it's odd that a configuration file is being stored in $LIBDIR...why was that chosen in the first place? Why not store it in ${CFG} like firejail.config?
