Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/883

If I already have an existing claws-mail session then running "firejail claws-mail" starts a new session instead of connecting to the existing one. I'm running 0.9.44, packaged in Debian GNU/Linux.

What I'm really trying to do is create a custom firefox profile that allows me to cleanly use the "Email Link" feature. If I can figure out how to make the claws-mail profile work as expected, then I can customise the firefox one to connect to my claws-mail session.

If I don't hear anything, I'll try to customise the profile(s) so that I can run strace. That would help... ;-)

Thanks...

OK, the one running under firejail uses a socket in a subdir of /tmp/ but my regular version uses a socket in a subdir of ~/tmp/. So firejail must be cleaning the TMPDIR environment variable.

OK, if I use "env TMPDIR=..." to point to my private ~/tmp directory then I can make the default claws-mail.profile work. So, that profile is fine and wasn't working because of my own customisation.

Sorry for the noise... please close this...
