Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/1161

Launching Pale Moon with it's default profile fails because of "line 30 being invalid".
What is line 30 in /etc/firejail/palemoon.profile ?

It is this line:
private-opt palemoon

If I comment it out, Pale Moon launches.

It seems this bug was added with this commit:

Hi @pizzadude. Sorry for the trouble.
In addition to what version of firejail you use, what distro are you using?

EDIT: and how did you install pale moon?

2nd Edit: Can you also run the following two commands in your terminal from me, using the default palemoon profile (so private-opt palemoon is not commented out):

firejail palemoon
firejail --debug palemoon

Firejail version is 0.9.44.10. I was running Ubuntu Mate 16.04 LTS at the time of this bug report, but I upgraded to Ubuntu Mate 17.04 beta (for a different reason than this) and it has the same issue.

If I run it with the default profile:

firejail palemoon
Reading profile /etc/firejail/palemoon.profile
Reading profile /etc/firejail/disable-common.inc
Reading profile /etc/firejail/disable-programs.inc
Reading profile /etc/firejail/disable-devel.inc

Error: line 30 in /etc/firejail/palemoon.profile is invalid

firejail --debug palemoon

EDIT: I installed Pale Moon with pminstaller. https://linux.palemoon.org/download/installer/

Sorry for taking long to respond.

private-opt is only supported in the current git snapshot, it is
not yet released. So for now you could keep the private-opt line
commented out.

@reinerh Okay, thanks. Also, I noticed that your firejail PPA doesn't have the latest stable release, and it doesn't support zesty either. Are you planning on supporting either of those? Thanks. : )

I prefer PPAs to manually installing deb files.

Sorry, I forgot to update it, thanks for the reminder. :)
I will update it later and also create one for zesty.
