Firejail: Firefox and Chromiun not taking input and not appearning in `firejail --list`

[Logmytech]

I'm running Ubuntu 16.04 on Gnome

1) If non jailed instance of Firefox is open, then the new instance of firejailed Firefox opens just fine. However when I do a firejail --list it doesn't appear.

2) If all Firefox instances are closed and I run a firejailed Firefox, then the Firefox doesn't accept Keybaord input. I get IBUS errors and Firefox doesn't accept Keyboard input.

3) The same happens for Chromium

This is the output

$ firejail firefox
Reading profile /usr/local/etc/firejail/firefox.profile
Reading profile /usr/local/etc/firejail/firefox-common.profile
Reading profile /usr/local/etc/firejail/disable-common.inc

(firefox:7): IBUS-WARNING **: Unable to connect to ibus: Could not connect: Connection refused

Parent is shutting down, bye...

See #1579, #1302, and #1204

I don't think we've found a fix yet.

Regarding your other issue:

If non jailed instance of Firefox is open, then the new instance of firejailed Firefox opens just fine. However when I do a firejail --list it doesn't appear.

If it is not in firejail --list, we must assume it is not sandboxed. Probably you will find the reason here: https://firejail.wordpress.com/support/frequently-asked-questions/#firefox

@Logmytech Can you try GTK_IM_MODULE=xim firejail firefox?

I'm using Manjaro now and Firefox is working.

Stale distribution might have been the problem.

I have the same problem with a fresh install of Ubuntu 18.04 and the NVIDIA driver.
I have tried GTK_IM_MODULE=xim firejail firefox as suggested by @Fred-Barclay

Keyboard is working ok now. But another issue arises: no network connection in Firefox.

Since the OP has fixed their problem and the last person to comment deleted their account (so we can't really get in touch with them), I'm going to go ahead and close this.
