Hi,

Thanks for a great tool. I am testing Firejail on Archlinux with Claws-Mail (email-client) and Qupzilla (Inet-Browser). Claws-Mail has no ability to show html-mails directly. But to show html-mails with Dillo-Browser as plugin or the standard browser Qupzilla.
Claws-Mail runs very well in the Firejail-Sandbox exempt the html view. Dillo shows an empty page inside Claws, Qupzilla does not start.
Is there any profile item I have to set for Claws-Mail?

Thanks in advance.
Snickar

Is this with the default profile for claws?

I believe /etc/firejail/disable-programs.inc blacklists many common programs' configuration files (including Dillo and Qupzilla) which is why you're seeing this problem. You should probably create a custom profile adding a noblacklist directive before importing the standard profiles.

Yes, I think you need to disable disable-programs.inc in the profile. Open /etc/firejail/claws-mail.profile in a text editor, and comment out "include /etc/firejail/disable-programs.inc" (add a #)/

Thanks for reply and support. With disabled disable-programs.inc (in customized profiles for Qupzilla and Claws) Dillo runs into Claws as plugin.
But Qupzilla do not start by clicking a link in Claws and vs. Claws do not start by clicking an email-link in Qupzilla.
Do you have any ideas what to do?

Thanks in advance

That might have to do with private-bin. Check to see if you're using private-bin or something to restrict which binaries the program has access to (or if the default profiles use it).
