Firejail  is  a  SUID sandbox program that reduces the risk of security
breaches by restricting the running environment of  untrusted  applications
using Linux namespaces and seccomp-bpf. It includes sandbox profiles for
Iceweasel/Mozilla Firefox, Chromium, Midori, Opera, Evince, Transmission,
VLC, Audacious, Clementine, Rhythmbox, Totem, Deluge, qBittorrent.
DeaDBeeF, Dropbox, Empathy, FileZilla, IceCat, Thunderbird/Icedove,
Pidgin, Quassel, and XChat.

Firejail also expands the restricted shell facility found  in  bash  by adding
Linux  namespace support. It supports sandboxing specific users upon login.
