Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/5678

I'm running version 0.9.70 on openSUSE Leap 15.4 and got following problem:

When I run
firejail --seccomp --private=/home/kaiser/Firejail/okular --read-only=~/Downloads okular
from the shell it works fine. If I want to open a file in okular it actually opens the download folder.
But when I make a menu entry with the very same command it doesn't open the download folder.

Any ideas?

How does your menu entry look like exactly? If by a menu entry you mean using a .desktop file, have you tried using Exec=sh -c 'firejail --seccomp --private=/home/kaiser/Firejail/okular --read-only=~/Downloads okular' yet?

Side note: try to upgrade your firejail to the latest release, which is 0.9.72 at the time of writing.

It looks exactly the same as the shell command and it opens okular..
Running KDE Plasma. It has a menu editor.
Exec=sh -c 'firejail... doesn't open okular at all.

Latest version isn't available yet.
