We also discussed =E2=80=9Cguix run icecat=E2=80=9D as a simpler option:

  https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-guix/2018-01/msg00108.html

=E2=80=98guix run=E2=80=99 can guess parts of the profile, like whether the=
 application
needs X11 or Fontconfig stuff, just by looking at the references of the
application.  That said, I=E2=80=99m curious to see what the Firejail profi=
les
look like and to what extent we=E2=80=99d need to manually annotate package=
s if
we were to provide similar functionality.

Firejail looks nice!
