Hi,
I tried FreeBSD some months back. I am paranoid about security. I asked here how to configure PF and I got help almost instantly. Everything was going fine except running Firefox inside a sandbox. I tried very hard to run Firefox inside a Jail but unfortunately I didn't succeed. So I had no choice but to move back to Linux.
If running Firefox or other network facing apps like Pidgin, Thunderbird, etc inside a sandbox is unnecessary or overkill is entirely a different topic. Personally I won't run at least Firefox outside of a sandbox.
So it is my request to the FreeBSD devs and community please make a firejail equivalent for FreeBSD.
Under Linux if you want to run Firefox inside firejail all you need to do is $firejail firefox. That's it.
