Advice Request Firejail not working with Firefox v84

[Overkill]

The very first time I tried Mint I had no problems with Firejail, but I have switched to a few distros but I always come back to Mint...now after installing FJ, when I open FF, it won't load and basically is unable to do anything like it's frozen???

What are the versions of your Linux Mint and the version of FireJail ?

I found one thread below on Linux Mint Forums:

FireJail version 0.9.52 on Mint Cinnamon 19.3 - Linux Mint Forums

Unfortunately, there seems to be NO solution for everyone, but you can asking there for more help as here are only a few users of Linux Mint.

Thanks. I guess I'll have to make an accout there

Looks like a Mint specific bug, just installed Firejail to test and it works fine on Ubuntu 20.10

I finally got it working by installing this way...

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deki/firejail
apt update
apt install firejail
sudo firecfg

I'd suggest upgrading to Mint 20 instead of using PPAs, firejail is broken on Ubuntu 18.04

Bug #1882426 “breaks firefox in 18.04” : Bugs : firejail package : Ubuntu

This is presumably the same as #1776175 (contents of all tabs appear blank). That wasn't tagged bionic, and has been closed. Tagged security as it means you can't use a security tool. Version 0.9.52-2

I can't. I have a x86 machine, and Mint no longer supports it.
