Hello !

I has multiple profiles for my firefox browser. I like to run my firefox sandbox by firejail, but like to do this with a specific already created profile. For that I was using the following command:

$ firejail firefox -P foo

where foo is name of the selected firefox profile. But, now this not working & instead firefox open on it's profile manager UI which being EMPTY without any profile !!

To be ohnest, I did not run my firefox using this command since long time .... Is there something changed or it is a bug ?

I'm on Fedora 43 X 64 bit XFCE edition. My firejail version is 0.9.78

Regards.

Should be fixed in:

#7061

Do all of the following directories exist?

~/.cache/mozilla
~/.config/mozilla
~/.mozilla

Does it work with the following lines in ~/.config/firejail/firefox.local?

ignore read-only ${HOME}/.config/mozilla/firefox/profiles.ini
noblacklist ${HOME}/.config/mozilla
mkdir ${HOME}/.config/mozilla
whitelist ${HOME}/.config/mozilla
