Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/1084

All new firejails have the same X window ID. (Confirmed with firefox, chrome, uzbl.)

Optionally, or by default, firejails should get unique ID's.

You are probably right. What tool are you using to extract the ID?

I just run xprop in a terminal and click the according window.

To get the ID only: xprop | grep '_NET_WM_PID' | awk '{ print $NF }'
