Originally created by @genodeftest on GitHub (Jan 10, 2017).
Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/1038

Steps to reproduce:

install firejail 0.9.45 from git master
run firecfg as root to create symlinks in /usr/local/bin, including the one for quiterss
run quiterss
in QuiteRSS, try to open any URL in your browser

What happens:
URL doesn't open

What should happen:
URL should open in browser. Works fine if you run /usr/bin/quiterss instead of /usr/local/bin/quiterss.

You might have to run unset SESSION_MANAGER to get quiterss running at all, but that is a different bug.

Yes, you're right. The culprit is the private-bin line in the profile. I've tried to add other binaries from /usr/bin which could qualify - but so far to no avail. As a workaround I suggest that you create quiterss.profile in ~/.config/firejail with the following entries:

ignore private-bin
include /etc/firejail/quiterss.profile

Another fix might be blacklisting /usr/local/bin so that it's forced to run /usr/bin/quiterss?

Why was this closed if it is still an issue? Why not removing private-bin quiterss from the profile?
