Error launching app
Unable to find Electron app at /usr/share/element/app

Cannot find module '/usr/share/element/app'

Does it work with the following in ~/.config/firejail/element-desktop.local?

whitelist /usr/share/element

Yes! It worked to do:

echo "whitelist /usr/share/element" > $HOME/.config/firejail/element-desktop.local

The main window now opens as it should.
