## A program isn't firejailed

`firejail --list` does not show the running program to be inside a Firejail sandbox.
First make sure you have run `firecfg` as root. If this didn't work, create a symlink manually (`ln -s /usr/bin/firejail /usr/local/bin/PROGRAM`). Additionally, adding an alias in your shell or modifying the `Exec` line in your `.desktop` file will work, too. Only edit the `.desktop` file if you know what you are doing.
First make sure you have run `firecfg` with `sudo`. If you run this as root without sudo, it will not fix your `.desktop` files. If If this did not work, create a symlink manually (`ln -s /usr/bin/firejail /usr/local/bin/PROGRAM`). Additionally, adding an alias in your shell or modifying the `Exec` line in your `.desktop` file will work, too. Only edit the `.desktop` file if you know what you are doing.
If your program is installed under `/opt` you need to use `firejail /opt/foo/bar` in the terminal/`.desktop` file for example.
