Running Zorin 16.3 pro. I opened firefox from the firejaillauncher. How can user confirm that firefox is firejailed? I do not see any indication in firefox. Is there a CLI cmd to confirm this? Also I read something on the web that firefox that comes installed in Zorin (or Ubuntu) is already sandboxed; therefore, firejail does not work with Zorin firefox. Thoughts welcome. (my Linux is a little rusty).

To confirm whether Firefox is running inside a Firejail sandbox, you can use the following command in the terminal:

```
firejail --list
```

This will display a list of all running Firejail sandboxes. If you see an entry for Firefox, then it means that Firefox is indeed running inside a Firejail sandbox.

Regarding the claim that the Firefox version in Zorin or Ubuntu is already sandboxed, it is partially true. The Firefox package in Ubuntu-based distributions comes with some level of sandboxing enabled by default. However, Firejail provides an additional layer of security by creating a stricter, isolated sandbox environment for running applications.

Therefore, even if Firefox may be partially sandboxed by default, running it inside Firejail can still provide enhanced security and isolation.
