Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/1173

When using Firefox with Firejail I can't make new bookmarks. It recognizes all my already existing bookmarks.
When using Firefox without Firejail I can make new bookmarks. The file where all the bookmarks are placed is in ~\.mozilla\[PROFILE_FOLDER]\places.sqlite

One common issue with firefox is this: https://firejail.wordpress.com/support/frequently-asked-questions/#firefox

Also, if you use --private, it will not save the bookmarks. How do you start firefox?

@network23 As long as ~/.mozilla is whitelisted (which it is if your profile is loading properly), then I'm not sure why you're not able to save new bookmarks. If you run it from the console, do you get any errors?
@netblue30 If @network23 is able to access their bookmarks from previous sessions, then the profile is being loaded, which means --private isn't being used.

I tried a lot of things, starting it without apparmor, firejail --apparmor firefox,
Editing firefox.profile, checking various settings/permissions. Didn't work. Upgraded today to 0.9.44.10 via apt, and it now works 👍
Maybe it was a setting in the profile, or something in firejail. Closing this thread because it's fixed.

Thanks for the comments and this great software 🥇
