Kind of strange. It finds the profile file, but it cannot access it! Maybe "Error: cannot access profile file" is printed by the browser? Add a --debug to the command (firejail --debug ...) and print it here, and also the profile file.

Hey netblue30,
i found the issue. In the profile there were some includes on files that doesn't exist anymore:

include /etc/firejail/disable-common.inc 
include /etc/firejail/disable-programs.inc 
include /etc/firejail/disable-passwdmgr.inc 
include /etc/firejail/disable-devel.inc

Reason was, that i changed from a rpmfusion packet to "fgit-install.sh". Had to copy the 'etc' dir from git clone. So my fault, but an error output at this point would be really useful.

Anyway, thanks and keep up your amazing work.
