Reproduction step
Install Waterfox on Linux using Flatpak
Launch Waterfox
A banner below the adress bar warns the user: "Some of Waterfox's security features may offer less protection on your current operating system. How to fix this issue."
Also, the likely page candidate does not give any details about the security features and why it would offer less protection. I've looked in the documentation and couldn't find any relevant page. Should I raise another issue about this?
You may see a warning that “some of Firefox’s security features may offer less protection on your current operating system”.
The sandbox in Firefox makes use of unprivileged user namespaces when creating new processes for enforcing more security. This can be considered a security risk, therefore some Linux distributions have started to restrict its usage and only allow it to work where there is an AppArmor profile.
... (goes on to explain how to create an AppArmor profile for firefox)
