Firefox and native messaging #2109

Hi, somewhat recently, firefox started allowing native apps. However, this requires that another executable be allowed to run in the firefox jail. I'm not quite sure how to do this.

Specifically, I'm trying to use the native app for tridactyl which installs a python script to $HOME/.local/share/tridactyl/native_main.py. Firefox needs to be able to execute this python script (like a shell script, and not as an argument to the interpreter).

I use firejail with a private directory for firefox: firejail --private=~/firefox-jail, and I made sure the python script is installed to the private directory, and I've enabled the firefox-common-addons.profile to allow python. However, I'm continuing to get permission denied errors. Any suggestions?
