Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/1144

mkdir ~/origin; touch ~/origin/{1..3}.txt
ln -s ~/origin ~/symlinkeddir

Then in firefox firejail profile:
whitelist ~/symlinkeddir/2.txt

And what happens is that:
~/origin/1.txt is blacklisted
~/origin/2.txt is whitelisted
~/origin/3.txt is blacklisted
But ~/symlinkeddir is blacklisted.

The desired output will be that ~/symlinkeddir/2.txt would be whitelisted.

I'm not sure but I think this was the behaviour sometime ago.

It's working in another PC with Firefox 49. So I presume that it's due Firefox version. ¿?

So it must be something "strange" in my enviroment. xD

Cheers!

Seems to be fine here, I'll close it for now.
