Adding firejail to favorites launcher
Hi,
I have edited the shortcut Code:
sudo nano /usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop When I click on Activities then Firefox it opens with firejail sandbox but when I add Firefox to the favorites bar and click on Firefox on the favorites bar it opens without firejail sandbox. Any solutions ? |
How did you add Firefox to the dash - did you do it through Activities?

I don't use GNOME. If you right click on the Firefox icon on the dash, is there a Properties option and, if so, what does it list for the associated command line?

Ok, sorry, I'll need to leave you in the hands of someone who knows more about GNOME. What it does look like though is that the version of Firefox on the dash runs Firefox directly without recourse to the firefox.desktop file.
You could always create your own custom launcher on the desktop and drag it onto the dash to see if that works. |
Anyone ? Any ideas ?

So, did you try creating your own custom launcher, or did you just decide to ignore that piece of advice? |

Searching on the web for "ubuntu 18.04 create desktop launcher" returns the following page: https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-creat...c-beaver-linux Work through it and create a desktop launcher that calls Firefox with Firejail incorporated in the command. Test it and see if it works. If it does, try dragging the launcher onto the dash. |
@hydrurga
I read that link. What I have done in the mean time is this Code:
cd /usr/share/applications/ Code:
cp firefox.desktop /home/ubuntu/Desktop/ Only difference is I copied existing .desktop entries instead of creating manually. Now I can open FF with firejail by clicking the FF icon on my desktop. The irritating part is I still cant use the favorites launcher. |

Will that .desktop file not drag and drop onto the dash? |

Does right-clicking on the .desktop file offer any useful options?
