Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/1074

In Debian stable with firejail 0.9.44.4 the default profile for gnome-mplayer has the private-bin argument, however I think this doesn't work properly, because gnome-mplayer can be launched but can' t play anything, it just hangs.

Disabling it with ignore=private-bin solves the issue, and interestingly mplayer does indeed work with the same option (adapted for it, i.e private-bin mplayer) : shouldn't gnome-mplayer be just a front-end for mplayer?

Why this option is apparently working only for mplayer ?
