Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/5379

Description

Firefox ESR 102 needs access to session DBus names matching org.mozilla.firefox_esr.* to open a new tab/window when Firefox is already running.

I fixed this locally with this rule:

$ echo "dbus-user.own org.mozilla.firefox_esr.*" >> ~/.config/firejail/firefox.local

It looks to me like this rule should be added to firefox.profile.

Steps to Reproduce

$ firejail firefox
(Firefox opens)
$ firejail firefox example.com
Fails with error dialog:

Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To use Firefox, you must first close the existing Firefox process, restart your device, or use a different profile.

Expected behavior

$ firejail firefox
(Firefox opens)
$ firejail firefox example.com
(Firefox opens website)

Environment

Debian GNU/Linux 11 bullseye
Debian firefox-esr package, v102.3.0esr-1~deb11u1 (did not occur with v91.13.0esr-1~deb11u1)
firejail version 0.9.70
