Subject: Re: Editing firefox.desktop
On a side note, could use a little help with the restricted network
function. Something changed between earlier versions and 0.9.64.4. In
earlier versions I could use "firejail --apparmor --net=eno1 firefox" to
create a new network stack. When I try to use it now I do not get any
errors, but am unable to browse to any site. If I change restricted-network
to yes I get the error "Error: networking feature is disabled in Firejail
configuration file". Networking is enabled according to both the config
file and to "firejail --version".

The developers notes in /etc/firejail/firejail.config say "Restricted
networking grants access to --interface, --net=ethXXX and # --netfilter
only to root user. Regular users are only allowed --net=none. I'm guessing
that firejail sees me as a regular user and not as a root user?
