📄 Description

This PR fixes an issue on NixOS where you cannot use firejail like this:

firejail chromium

it fails with Error: no suitable chromium executable found.

This is because chromium is usually a symlink in ~/.nix-profile to the binary in the NixOS store. After whitelisting ~/.nix-profile running

firejail chromium

works :)
