Is this a feature?

Yes; see:

  • #5071
  • disable-common.inc

Though the directory should be readable with noblacklist.

If so, how do I disable it?

ignore read-only ${HOME}/Applications
noblacklist ${HOME}/Applications

Is this a feature?

Yes; see:

* [profiles: blacklist and make ~/Applications dir read-only  #5071](https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/pull/5071)

* disable-common.inc

Though the directory should be readable with noblacklist.

If so, how do I disable it?

ignore read-only ${HOME}/Applications
noblacklist ${HOME}/Applications

Ok thanks
