I took Brian's recommendation and created a file in ~/.local/share/applications called sandfox.desktop. Contents of that file are:
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Type=Application
Icon=/home/steve/Pictures/firejailed_firefox128.png
Exec=/usr/bin/firejail --apparmor firefox
Name=Sandboxed Web Browser
Terminal=false
I have it set to executable but when i try to run it "./sandfox.desktop" I get the error:
./sandfox.desktop: line 1: [Desktop: command not found
./sandfox.desktop: line 5: --apparmor: command not found
./sandfox.desktop: line 6: Web: command not found
Is my file misconfigured or what do I not have correct?
Under debian based distros, overriding an overwrite of ANY installed
file is easily done.
There's a really cool tool called dpkg-divert that the system uses
to take whatever files would normally be installed and steer them
into a different place so that you can put your own version of the
file in the same place without fear of it going away on the next
update.
Just do:
dpkg-divert --add --rename /usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop
In this case, that would be the overkill and less correct way of
handing the problem. A better way would be to put your own version
of the firefox.desktop into certain directories and that cause it to
override the system version of the config. Put them in
~/.local/share/applications/ to change an individual user and
