Probably we will have to find another way to extract the name of the application. Currently we go up to the first dot in the name.

This is the code yea? https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/blob/master/src/firejail/util.c#L557

Why does it ever need to stop at a period? Removing "*ptr2 != '.' &&" fixes this issue. Wouldn't it just be better to split at a ' ' instead? Is there a weird edge case where there will exist a period after the file name?
What was the issue that 63e0859305 fixed?
